beverley Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 one of the two hens I got from omlet, Olive, has finally laid an egg after 12 weeks (still waiting for rubys' contribution. , but she also has very very runny poo, i presume that this is to do with possibly a high temperature, hormones etc. has anyone else experienced this with their hens? i'm not too worried yet, but thought i would ask. thanks beverley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkmagic Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 One of my Polish bantams finally laid her first egg yesterday, a tiny little white thing, not much bigger than a pigeons egg! She has had looser poos than normal for a few days too. Think it must be normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 As long as she looks OK and is doing all the normal chicken things, probably not too much to worry about yet. I'd stick to layer pellets only for the next few days (i.e. no treats), as that will help her system settle into its new routine. Some find that a little pro-biotic yoghurt with some Bokashi bran mixed in can firm up runny poo (works for my Fifi). Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverley Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 thanks, i'll cut down on extras. i'll also try the pro biotic yogurt. i have started to put bokashi in with their pellets already. beverley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
