In the Brooder
Update: my boyfriend got up earlier than me this morning to let them out so I didn't get a good look at who is pooing what. I let him know the situation. However, there was some runny poo on the poo trays. It looks like it could be 2 of the girls with this problem. There was 3 milky poos out on the concrete today when I went out after breakfast. It's going to be difficult for me to keep track of the girls with milky poo because I can't tell them apart at the time anyway. Should I get leg tags? Also, I noticed a healthy poo from one of the Austros but upon further inspection, I found tiny blue bits of plastic in the poo. Unfortunately, who ever lived on my farm prior must have broke some blue plastic in little pieces because I found it everywhere all over the yard where they free range. Uhhhgggg. They are eating and drinking fine and no one is lethargic. I'm adding ACV to the water as we speak. I'll run to the feed store and grab some Corrid too. Is it pricey?
Anything moldy can cause diarrhea and if they eat enough of it, they can pick up a fungal infection.
How are they doing today? Just keep an eye on things. Find out who is putting out this diarrhea by knowing who roosts where and check on them first thing in the morning. Keep them away from things that they might be getting into for a few days and see if the poop doesn't return to normal. If this bird or others are still putting out this diarrhea in a couple of days, you might want to get some Corid in their water, just in case she or the others are developing Coccidiosis. You can get Corid at the feed store, or any product with Amprolium in it.
Keep us posted!
