Hi Mikebucks,

have a quick read of this sticky about chicken poo and probs..

http://www.chat.allotment-garden.org/viewtopic.php?t=4345 (http://www.chat.allotment-garden.org/viewtopic.php?t=4345)

Then come back and post up which you think might fit the bill.

Someone else can advise better what to do and any alternatives.

Rob

Thanks Rob. I think of all those descriptions it is  best described as brown which says a possible e-coli so I will monitor and see if it continues. Other than that they seem happy enough. I will need to check which one it is aswell! But I understand this is only a possibility.

You're not as panicky as we were a few weeks ago then !

Keep an eye in case other advice is posted. As you can gether i'm merely acting as a pointing device in lieu of anyone responsible answering.  :)

I hope it clears up and doesn't need treatment.

Rob
