My 6-month-old chicken has yellow poop. Is it a liver problem?

Thanks for reaching out about your bird. There are yellow pigments in the yolk that can be eliminated in the kidneys that produce the yellow urine/urates. Try discontinuing the egg to see if this returns the urine to normal color. If not, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and check for liver disease (also a cause of yellow urine). Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out. Yellow stool is not normal and can be an indication of an intestinal infection, intestinal parasites, liver disease and other problems. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. The birds should be separated prior to your veterinary visit, so you can monitor appetite. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. Good luck.

Without much other info it would be hard to say what is going on. Some organ issues, parasites, and infections can cause whiter stool or urea changes, while feeding too many snacks/changes in diet can change it as well. If this has been ongoing for a while, I would have the affected bird checked out by your vet to rule out any serious health issues.

Thanks for reaching out about your bird. Yellow droppings could be a result of the pigment in the calcium supplement, but is also a common clinical sign of possible liver disease. Stop giving the calcium supplement for a few days to see if the urine returns to a normal color. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach. In order to help, a little more information may allow us to guide you better. How old is the chicken? What is she eating? What is her environment? Is she inside or outside? The coloration of stool can change depending on what the bird is eating or sometimes due to parasites or illness. This website might give you a little bit more info https://the-chicken-chick.com/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive/ But please feel free to repost your question, with a little more information on how long this is been going on, if the Bird is acting normally and eating well, and possibly some pictures of the chicken and her stool.

Diet changes can affect the stool, and if you're feeding any extras in addition to the diet change, this could be causing the change you are seeing. It is also possible that his current diet is causing some minor GI upset if it changes immediately after eating and then returns to normal. Other issues such as internal parasites can also cause stool changes, so ruling out and treating for any parasites may be a good idea. Removing any extras such as fruit and veggies and providing only his balanced diet for a few days may also help him adjust and his stool return to normal. If the problem persists, or you see any other symptoms or changes such as reduced eating/drinking, lethargy, etc, then seeking vet care in person to rule out any more serious issues is best.

I would bring her in for a recheck exam with the vet that first examined her and diagnosed her and get some bloodwork done to recheck her liver values. Diarrhea or changes in stools can sometimes indicate that something isn't right, and if you've already tried changing her food around without success it's time for an exam. Your vet can also help rule out more common issues such as internal parasites that may also cause watery stool to occur. Moving her to a cooler area if it's too warm may also help. but if her symptoms don't resolve, or worsen, seeking vet care is best.
