surfer_chicken Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 To to reassure you they're normal! I think it's about 1 in every 10 poos that are like this, I can remember the exact reason but I'm sure someone will tell you soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pips_pekins Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've found that when they free range their poo is very variable. From what you describe its sounds fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
