    Wet spot in nesting box

    I just saw a similar watery poop outside & took a pic of the hen I suspect. Does this look normal?

    Wet spot in nesting box

    I feed them organic egg layer crumbles with some diatomaceous to earth mixed in. Once in a while I'll throw them an apple core, dried worms or veg. scraps, but not a lot & not too often. They have free reign of the yard so they may be eating stuff in yard too. The coop is pretty small but it...

    Wet spot in nesting box

    Yes some sleep on roosting bar & one or two sleep in nesting box. The poop in the box was always a typical solid poop with white cap. It's only until recently, that this watery stuff appeared. If it is a watery poop, does that mean one of them is sick?

    Wet spot in nesting box

    For the past couple of weeks one of the nesting boxes is wet. There is no evidence of an eaten egg, no shells, yolk, etc. The hay & straw is wet; it's kind of a dark spot. The wetness goes all the way through to the floor of the nesting box, so I keep changing the bedding. What could this be?

    Do your hens sleep in the nesting boxes?

    My girls are also sleeping in the nest box. I have 3 the squish themselves in one box together and the other two sleep together in another box. They leave the 3rd box empty. It's not like it's cold out. The weather has been very warm lately ( except for today). I tried putting them on the...
