Runny and white poop

2 replies

One of my hens is very quiet this Morning and wasn't keen to come out the coop this Morning. I have noticed she has runny poop too and at least one is very white.

I gave them a little natural yoghurt and garlic yesterday and a little scrambled egg the day before (i have one going through a moult so wanted to boost the protein) so I am wondering if it is probably just a case of over indulgence or something more I should worry about?

Is there something I can give her to help her stomach or best to leave it be and just keep an eye on her? I have left out only their basic layers feed and two drinkers out (one plain water and one water with apple cider vinegar)

Thank you for any help and advice

How is your chicken now? This happened to my bluebell last year. She was really lifeless and all fluffed up. I separated her and gave her access to her own food and water, which I supplemented with a Verm-X tonic for intestinal health. She was right as rain in about a day and a half, to my surprise! I was really prepared for the worst. Hope yours is doing better!

Hello - thank you for replying. She is good as new!! By that late Afternoon she was back to normal and been fine since. I too was preparing for the worst.... I hate when they are under the weather.... but she bounced right back so I am putting it down to too many treats...oops
