annettec Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 We bought a Silkie from a breeder and she seems to have settled well but she seems to have a touch of diarrhoea very orangy in colour, but she was housed in an aviary type cage before in a shed so has never been on grass or outside so I am hoping that it is the grass she is now devouring. Am adding grit/oyster to food and only giving pellets and then a little corn in the pm so have held off giving any extra fruit/green stuff as extra to see if this helps? Any ideas ???

Christian Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It could just be settling in nerves. One on every 10 poos comes from a different part of the gut and is usually orange and stinky I would cut back on all treats and just feed pellets and water for a while and she is she settles down.

annettec Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks for your reply. That makes total sense as i noticed that where she sits in the Eglu the poo is normal so was wondering why only two poos per 24hrs was this colour as i know chickens poo lots more over the day ! Thanks so much for the reassurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
