Red girl Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 My 3 year old Rhode Island Red is looking poorly she hasn't laid for over week and the last 2 nights she hasn't wanted any wheat which she loves. She is still eating her pellets but I have noticed her bum looked dirty yesterday and I have found some strange poo`s which are small, runny and white/pale green . I tried to find a previous post with photos of poo but it won't show them . Any advice would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Very hard to diagnose on what you have said, but at 3 years old she is reaching the end of her laying career if not her natural life. If she is looking unwell and not eating then she is almost certainly feeling unwell. It could bd peritonitis which laying hens are very prone to getting. I'm afraid that only a vet can really give you an answer - it could be a simple infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red girl Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks for your reply She looks ok her comb is still nice and red and when I let them out to free range she still runs about. She ate some mealworms tonight it's mainly no eggs, not wanting wheat and strange poo. I did think maybe she was getting on the old side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Have you wormed them recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red girl Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 8 weeks ago. I'm going to give them all some herban to see if that will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
