Hi! I've been searching the forum this morning, but I am still not sure if I need to worry about my chicken! She is having watery, black stools. I even saw one kind of "shoot" out. She is about 4 months old, free ranges in our (urban) backyard. She also gets organic grower and occasional scratch. I did recently take the netting off the garden, so they have been enjoying more greens lately. I have four chickens, so I can't be sure all these poops are hers.
I haven't seen any blood, and I checked that British site with normal and abnormal poop pics, and none seemed quite right...
Could this just be due to the diet change, or should I worry?
Thanks so much for any advice!

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.
