Chicken bald back

[debbiedoobs]

Hi, in the past few days we have found dark green cecal poo, never noticed it before. What can it be? I don't think it's normal, is it?

We've had some as well, with bits of intestinal lining in it. As far as I know, even though it looks completely wrong, it is perfectly normal. Presume you have given them a good check over and found no sour or impacted crops?

It's just I've never seen it before. All have been checked and are eating and drinking as normal. Can't find anything online bout it either.

I've just googled 'chicken feces pictures' Debbie and the first site has loads of pictures. Some are a bit scary. In my experience if the poo is bright green it is an infection or internal stress or they are on antibiotics. But you did say dark green which is normal. The stuff we are seeing is below the first set of pictures with the 10p piece.
