Eggsie Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 One of my Pekin bantams has had dark droppings like tar - really black and sticky. she's stopped laying too. This has been gpoing on for about 3 weeks - we were hoping it would clear as she looks plump and healthy and happy in all other respects. Any advice please?

Plum Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi, I think they can be like that after eating a lot of protien such as slugs and worms. One of mine does that when she passes a caecal poo. I don't think it's a problem. It could be old blood she's passing which would look like that but she would have a pale comb. Someone with experience will be along soon.

Eggsie Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks Plum. All 3 of my Pekins are free range so maybe she could have a taste for slugs and worms? My other two are fine though (at the mo, well one's broody and the other is doing cockerel impressions but thats another story! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
