angel 0406 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 morning all i opened up this morning and my black rock has the white of her poo all over her feathers around her vent when i looked about the shed there were a few very runny water poos so i guess its from her so i no which hen has a problem so thats sorted. but what about runny poo is that a bad sign i will keep an eye i have felt her crop but im not sure what im looking or feeling for it feels full of food and i can move it about but i think it feels bigger then the other 2 could this be why her poo is runny and where do i start to make her better she been laying ever day all over the winter and seems happy to have treats . many thanks amie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Don't forget to worm them with Flubenvet 3/4 times a year if you are not already especially if they are tucking into plenty of worms and slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
