Cluckinmad Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hello All, One of my girls seems to have diarrhoea she has had it for at least 4 days now. Should I be worried or is this pretty normal. I have only had her a week and other than that she seems really happy and is eating and drinking well. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I believe their tummy's can take a while to settle down after first getting them - mine certainly did. I would say keep an eye over the next few days and see if it persists or they show other signs of illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Mine had a bout of being a bit squitty for a couple of weeks. They were up to date with Flubenvet so I gave them 5 days of Protexin Probiotics which has dried them up a treat. I wonder if they were set off by an overdose of mealworms given to them by my chicken sitter (huge tub in 1 week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I would add some Bokashi Bran to her food and keep her off extras for a while. That should settle things down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollyfry Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Is this the same Bokashi Bran stuff that people are talking about? http://www.earth-essentials.co.uk/prod_details_bran.htm The website describes it for use in composters (?!?) so just wanted to check!!

sandyhas3chucks Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 yes, but many get theirs from wiggly wigglers! If she doesn't settle down in a couple of days with no treats. You may want to send a sample to get tested. Retfords Poultry is very good, efficient, and cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I got mine from this chap on Ebay. It's worth comparing prices, especially if you are buying larger amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
