Hi all, so this is an exactly purely a nutrition question. Have some 6-8 week old bantams who we brought outside yestetday to spend a little time. Now, the odor from the brooder is beyond being tolerable. It seems to have spread throughout my whole house where previously, you had that "chickeny " aroma but now it is positively noxious. They also seem to be having a bit looser of stools , but also still having normal ones. So I wouldn't classify it as diarrhea. Is this change simply due to them being outside and having access to grass and bugs and what not? as I said, the smell is overpowering we clean out the router twice a day and have not had anything even close to this in 8 weeks. Any info or feedback is greatly appreciated. I will add that they were vaccinated for Mareks but not coccidiosis and were not given medicated feed as per the guidance of our chicken vet. They have had dirt for dust bathing in their router for a couple weeks now
