Backdoor Buggers Birds are masters of disguise when it comes to hiding early signs of illness. Therefore, exterior indicators of health status are very helpful and important. Bird droppings are one of those critical exterior indicators, in conjunction with clinical signs such as fluffed feathers, energy level, and loss of appetite, weight loss, and so forth. Droppings can be an important window into the health status of your bird. This page deals with anything coming out through backdoor. Parts of droppings Appearance Partially digested food viral disease Slimy droppings overgrowth of yeast Foamy or bubbly droppings bacterial infection watery and unformed diarrhea Pudding, watery or spattered pea Stress, new food, spoiled food, bacterial or fungal infection, intestinal parasites, Toxins or antibiotics. Small dry feces dehydration or organ disease Urates Increased volume of urates diet, inadequate water intake, Dehydration, or by kidney problems. Bright green or yellow urates liver disease, Brown urates lead poisoning Red urates heavy metal toxicity, internal bleeding or kidney problems White or Clay color Pancreas or digestive problems Blood Cocci intestinal lining Normal mustard to dark brown froth, Normal smelly bright green or yellow due to Chlamydia Urine clear Normal greenish or yellowish tinge liver disease reddish brown poisoning

3 These last six pictures have shed intestinal lining in them - quite normal, not a cause for concern. Photo: thechichenchick.com Oily and Foamy The range of "Normal" is huge. Photo:
4 Hens that produced these droppings may have eaten strawberries or any red fruits. These are normal droppings Hens that produced these droppings have eaten red cabbage. Red cabbage produce funny green poopsthese are normal droppings. Coral Colored Urates These are frequently deposited overnight and are quite normal Broody poop
5 Ceacal: Produced from the ceacum of the chicken and is mustard to dark brown froth. They are expelled every 8 to 10 droppings. Photo: Watery Watery droppings are produced by hens which are too hot. It can be a way for them to cool down by drinking a lot and losing some of their heat in frequent wet droppings. It can also be a sign that the hens are not eating enough too. Photo:
6 Abnormal droppings Coccidiosis Blackhead Blackhead is caused by a protozoa called Histomonas meleagridis. It multiplies and damages caecal walland migrates to liver causing Liver necrosis. The effected bird may have Blackhead disease if the droppings are similar to those shows below and accompanied with one, some or all of the following symptoms Chicken: Depression, weakness, Huddle with neck drawn in, Droopy tail and wing feathers, ruffled feathers, Sulfur colored or bright yellow droppings, bloody droppings, black coloration of head parts. Turkey: weak with ruffled feathers, and drooping heads and wings. Soiled vent feathers due to diarrhea are common. Bright yellow sulphur droppings, black coloration of head.
7 The disease can also be confused with In chickens: Coccidiosis, heavy worm burdens, fowl cholera.in turkeys: Hexamitiasis, Coccidiosis, cholera. Rehan Rehan In the two pictures above we can see sulphur yellow coloration in feaces and blood in urates. These droppings were produced by a young bird about four months of age. The bird was treated with Metronedazole for five days. For complete cure.
8 The hen that produced this specimen was an older bird that became very thirsty. She is producing a large amount of watery urates the cause of which is unknown, but could possibly be a kidney problem. The hen that produced this specimen was about 25 weeks old. She went off her food and ate so little she became underweight. She held her tail down and was tired. She may have had worms and/or egg peritonitis. Fowl Cholera or Liver disease Kidney infection or E.coli infection Flies will lay their eggs on moist chicken poo and in warm weather they will very quickly hatch into small maggots.(picturecurtsey of Vember)
9 E.coli or possibly respiratory disorder Worms The following types of worms can be found in poultry: Hair worm - Found in the crop, esophagus, proventriculus and intestine. Roundworm - Found in the birds digestive system. Gizzard worm - Found in the gizzard, mainly in geese. A common problem for goslings. Tapeworm - Fairly uncommon, found in the intestine. Gapeworm - Found in the trachea and lungs. Caecal worm - Cause little damage but transmit blackhead to Turkeys.
10 Tape worms Picture of poo with the little tapeworm segments dotting all over it. Some people think this is something that was laid on the poo, but the tapeworm segments come to the surface after the poo. You can see the things moving.

11 Droppings look like they have puss combined with very little fecal matter and condensed urates. Green is bile due to bird not eating Large amount of yellowing urates indicates Bacterial infection Could be Coccidiosis,worms, viruses (such as rotavirus and adenovirus), bacterial diarrhea, kidney damage a feed too high in protein. Foamy poop is a sign of protozoa infection, which could coccidiosis, blackhead or maybe giardia Respiratory problem
12 Egg yolk peritonitis Fresh dropping seems transparent but turn milky in few seconds New castle Disease This image was taken 5 days post experimental inoculation with Viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle disease virus. A close-up view of the feces shows both the green bile pigment as well as the white urates. This diarrhea is somewhat characteristic of Newcastle disease. Atlas of Avian Diseases Cornell University This image was taken 3 days post experimental inoculation with viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle disease. Watery diarrhea is a common finding in the viscerotropic form of this infection. Soiling around the vent, as seen here, can be an important indicator of the presence of diarrhea. Atlas of Avian Diseases Cornell University
13 Misshapen Egg
14 Lash Eggs Young pullets and old hens may sometime pass these meaty droppings. This can happen when for any reason hens develop an imbalance in their reproductive cycle. This can happen at any stage in laying hens specially when they are at the point of lay or when their egg laying life is about to end. Sometimes hens develop an infection and the yolk solidifies upon which cystic material start to accumulate. If it is not expelled at the right time it can become larger it becomes systemic and kill the hens.
