New hens not going into Eglu Go Up

[lucie]

Hi all

 

I have been getting lots of yellow droppings, then I read the post on Chicken Health about the foamy yellow dropping that was due to blackhead or histamonosis and was really really serious and now I am scared that it isn't just one of the normal yellow ones but something a bit more sinister.

 

Flo, my , is doing them. She hasn't started laying yet, but did her first crouch a couple of days so hopefully will start soon. She is happy and eating and drinking. Just need some reassurance!

How long have you had the chickens?

 

They often have funny poo for up to two weeks after arriving, the change seems to unsettle them - could that explain it?

Hi

 

I got them on Friday 3rd April.

 

It has only been in the last week that the yellow droppings have appeared.

 

Thanks for your help!

Why not keep them just on pellets with bokashi bran added, and water, and a probiotic such as Avipro, or a live probiotic yoghurt added to the pellets. Keep them off treats and vegetation for a day or two and things should settle.

Thanks for your help! This is what I will do.

 

Thanks again.
