I think my chickens have diarrhoea
« on: September 20, 2010, 07:44 »
Morning

I've just been down to let my new chickens out, they arrived Saturday, and there is just masses of runny poo.  At first I thought it was stress but now the Orpington is doing what I think is normal poo while the two Sussex's seem to be getting worse.  It's changed from black and white to a caramel colour, sorry for the details but I'm worried that they are ill.  I've checked their vents the best I can and they are clean.  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

i was very surprised at the range of poops that are normal!!
cant remember the website but will post it on if i do. it showed pics of lots of different ones and "foamy" ones are not good but loads that you would think are not right are actually ok.
1 Coral Nick, 1 Rhode Rock, 1 Light Sussex,  2 Speckledy, 1 Columbian blactail, 2 welsummer, 1 Columbine
and 18 ducks/drakes/ducklings mix xxx

Thanks for that, I've had a look and I think that the poo is normal.

Kind Regard
