Pink poop?

[kimmybow]

Someone is pooping pink. Looks just like the other poops, just pink and white instead of grey and white. Could this be an indication of getting ready to lay? BTW - they aren't eating anything red or pink - just their feed.

Thanks!

Would you describe it as coral colored?

I've seen that before and it's normal, nothing to worry about.

Yes. I actually saw that link after I posted this - I guess it falls in the range of normal. A perfect looking poop (

) other than color, so I guess it's okay. I was just wondering of it indicates readiness to lay.

Nah, IMO it doesn't. The thing that indicates a pullet is reaching the point-of-lay would be comb and face color turning red. Also, often times a pullet will start squatting for their rooster (or you, if you don't have a roo).
