what do you do if your chickens' 'excrement' appears different from that mentioned above ? Is it something to worry about ?

Mine are doing the "normal" ones mentioned above - but some with a slightly greenish tinge which looks like the mash is coming through largely undigested - and the odd orangey loose one Shocked

weirdly all the overnight ones are "normal"

What they eat can make a difference.

And I think stress can also have an affect.

If my chooks have no other symptoms, and its only an occasional "different" one, I don't worry...

Panicked this morning when cleaning them out - saw red bits in the poo - them remembered that we had given them red peppers as a treat yesterday!
