Ailing Fowls 
O'Gte a while ago I read an article 
stating that it was possible to tell 
whether a fowl was healthy or not by 
the color of its droppings. I have some 
White Leghorns. Among the older birds 
I notice that the droppings of one are a 
light greenish, color, and among the 
younger ones several have a sort of red¬ 
dish brown color. Could you tell me 
what this indicates? My oldest male 
bird had what T believe was the roup. I 
at once segregated him and treated him 
for roup, but as he did not get any better 
I decided to kill him. Now one of my 
young pullets, of which the older cock 
was parent, has developed the same symp¬ 
toms, and I have separated her and am 
treating her. Can you tell me how it is 
that these two birds in entirely different 
pens should develop the same disease? 
New York. A. s. 
It is not possible to diagnose disease 
in fowls by the color of the droppings, 
though the color may be one indication 
that, taken with others, gives a correct 
elue to the nature of any trouble present. 
The normal droppings of fowls are dark- 
colored, rather dry, and composed at one 
end of white urates from the fowl’s kid¬ 
neys. There can be a great temporary 
variation from these appearances, how¬ 
ever, without indication of disease. The 
kind of food eaten and temporary condi¬ 
tion of the bowels as to looseness will 
affect the appearance of the droppings 
very materially. 
It would not he at all impossible for 
two birds in different pens to develop 
roup, since the germs of this disease may 
ho very widespread. Not all fowls ex¬ 
posed to roup contract the disease, since 
some are able to resist it, and not all so- 
called roup is really roup of the serious 
kind. M. B. D.
