Eglu Cube Coop For Sale

Have had 3 girls from Omlet for almost 3 weeks & what fun they are! However, quite early on, noticed what looked like the odd small yolk lying on the ground every now & then. Did my research via your wonderful forum & came to the conclusion that it was a caecal poo. However, these became more frequent along with quite a number of liquid poos that resembled either a pile of (sorry) caramel fudge topping or some overwatered mustard. Having trawled further into the forum, I've decided it's not histamonosis as it's not frothy nor particularly smelly. I've also identified the chicken who's responsible & she seems really fine. All have been laying well & the offending hen even managed a 74g egg at just 5 months old!! Last week, I decided to withhold all treats & the situation improved slightly but still problematic each day. So, I decided to worm them yesterday - used verm-x (dosed the grub feeder but how do you know who gets what?) & yesterday evening was terrible. Lots of fudge around the place with me in hot pursuit so that the dog doesn't eat it! The overnight droppings were plentiful & runny. Thankfully today in the run looks somewhat better.

So - what should I look for after worming & do you think that this might have been the reason for the fudge caramel? Does the medicine work that quickly? Would it be better to mix the worm potion in with a little mash potato which I know they'll eat quickly - or will this be too concentrated? I give poultry spice - would you recommend anything else.

I'm loath to read further in the health section as although it's informative, it's rather offputting!!

I wouldn't give mashed potato just stick to plain pellets or meal if you're worming. I don't know how verm-X is used but see how things are after completing treatment. If they are active and eating stop worrying
