Snowy Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 They will do poos like this, about every 1 in 10, it is a normal byproduct of the egg laying process. Providing they are doing normal poos in between (olive green with a white topping) then they are fine. If they are pooing like that all the time, and the probiotics haven't helped, you may need to see a vet for antibiotics. To be honest though, they do look like normal 'curry' poos.

pearcie Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 thank you for reply this has been happenihg for 1 month and thats how long we have had them they are not laying eggs yet so do you think a month is a long time or is that a normal amount of time thanx again.

Egluntyne Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 They should only do the chip shop curry sauce poos once every ten poos or so. Have you wormed them recently? That might be worth a go. I'd also suggest keeping them on just pellets and water for a few days. Avipro added to their drinking water is another good way of getting probiotics into them. Available online.

Sheilaz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Have they been wormed? As Egluntine suggests, I'd give that a try (lots of info. on forum) and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearcie Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 they have been wormed with flubvent over a week ago........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Perhaps if you have tried all home available remedies, a trip to the vet is needed? Sometimes they can have just a low grade infection that won't clear up (in my vast experience of 2 with squits at dif times! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 A trip to the vet is probably a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
