Wantchooks Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I have looked at the poo thread and can't find a picture of black! My girls don't free range, eat mash, have corn/greens as a treat and we have had them for 6 weeks. Have had all variations of brown to yellow poo, but DH has been looking after them this week while I have been away and he has told me that today all of them have started to do firm black poos. I have tried to search on the forum but can't find anything about black poo. Anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Good poo link (sounds like an odd thing to say!)here Jan. It might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wantchooks Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Nope! DH sat down with a glass of wine and perused the lot declaring nothing like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 is there any soil in the run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Most changes are down to something they've eaten. See what they are like tomorrow - you will probably find that they are back to normal again. Sounds like something they have all eaten - if they were ill, I would expect one to get it first, then for it to pass to the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Slugs, frogs? Could be digested blood? What about a picture ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Mine do black poos when they've eaten raisins or currants. Could that be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wantchooks Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 They've not had access to anything suggested above - the next day after DH let them free range accidentally in the garden, we were presented with beautiful deep turquoise poos! All back to normal now though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarahsausage Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Mine occasionally do black poops so I wouldn't worry, they're awful to clean up though and stink to high heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
