Poo color will change with what they eat. She might have gotten into something. Keep an eye on it for a couple of days, it should go back to normal. If not, then we will start narrowing down symptoms. Wink

Orange poo is commonly a sign of worms if it is produced on a regular basis and particularly if it is very foamy. usually about 1 in ten poos will be like this which is a sign of the chickens voiding their caecum, but frequent orange bubbly poo is nearly always worms, so if you haven't treated your birds for a while it could be the time to do it.
