Why do chicken droppings look so strange?

When I go to the chickens and I see kaka this is always black and white kaka at one I wondered why this is.

The poop you find with the chickens is a combination of uric acid (the white) and a little bit of solid excrement (the black). Birds always secrete both at the same time.
