chicken poo

Could she be straining to pass an egg :?

Has she eaten today?
Drinking?

Is she moving around or sat huddled up ?

Thanks for welcome and suggestion! I suppose she could be trying to pass an egg - she is moving around ok and seems to be eating and drinking fine - she is definately not huddled up  - I thought of that from past reading of chicken books! Will keep an eye tomorrow n let u know if any change - have gone to bed now!
What hens do you have? We have 1 x ranger (Clara), 1 x rhode rock (Barbara), 2 x speckldy's (Margot and Clucky), 1 x Barnvelder (Cindy) and 1 Welsummer (Penny). Kids named most of them - can u tell!?!
thanks

Hi!
You certainly have your hands full with all your girls (and boys I presume!)Great fun reading your blog - Is Paxo for breeding, pet or table?! Sorry if I offend you with the latter - certainly don't mean to but am from a very upfront upbringing! It's also what my kids would ask with a certain degree more innocence than myself of course!
Will have a good look at Clara's poo tomorrow - it may be she's been greedy with the pears I put out for them!

Thanks for reply Sarah, sounds like fun raising Turkeys - are they as quirky as chickens?
