This can't be good...

That yellowy part was thick and very stinky. Def not just caecal poop. Not positive who pooped it but I suspect Miss Kitty who has laid 2 thin shelled eggs in the past week. Those are the only eggs I have seen from her (5 year old so didn't seem too odd). She's eating fine and seems normal otherwise. Any suggestions?

I'm sure someone with more experience will answer. But mine have had this also?
Hopefully normal

You may want to compare, here, but doesn't look that unusual, unless you chicken dropping usually smell lovely ;)

Thx OC I do have that chart. It wasn't like anything I've seen come out of my chickens before. And didn't smell like poop. It was.... cheesy.

It looks normal to me. How big is it? If someone's​ been holding it for awhile (sleeping, broody, busy egg laying), the next poop tends to be large and look and smell very foul.

Yellow foamy is coccidiosis....the greeny harder part is normal. If she is laying thin shelled eggs it may be some yolk from an egg that didnt get a shell and collapsed in her....if she is eating and drinking fine and otherwise actuve i would not worry unless it continues for a few days and then suspect cocci

I know how to treat this in dogs and horses. How do you treat it in poultry?
