    watery poo for 10 days, what should I do

    no. in fact the vet rang university but found no clue. he rang us again yesterday suggested that if we don't mind we can do a blood test and urine test. this will be another $130

    watery poo for 10 days, what should I do

    my chicken is 1 year and 2 months old, she had just came out of broody buster on Saturday 20th May. We noticed last Tuesday 23th (Day 1) that she poo was greenish and watery. In the meantime, she still ate but the crop was not as full as usual, and she lost feathers. We visited a vet late on...

    1 year old hen stopped laying over 2 months

    she once laid a soft shell egg, but only once. My husband does not like that idea of eggshells, i might have a look of calcium supplement in the water. thanks for the advice.

    It's got poor egg shell, the shape usually looks like a red bean. she hardly eats the shell grit so calcium is mainly from layer pullet.

    1 year old hen stopped laying over 2 months

    She's back laying! 1 egg over night and another during the day. This is another thing that we don't know how to fix. During the day, if she's foraging in the backyard she could stand and lay as if the egg's just a huge poop. in rare case she would follow others laying in the laying box.

    1 year old hen stopped laying over 2 months

    she is technically not free range. we built them (3 chooks) a run around the 7 sqm attached to the roost. in summer we let her out in the backyard to forage when we came home from work, in winter(now) it is dark when we got home so they were only "free range" in the weekends for a few hours...

    1 year old hen stopped laying over 2 months

    Really appreciate. it's a wyandotte. I just checked the temp. The lowest is around 10 degrees in early morning and by lunch time it's around 20 degree, it gets dark at 5pm. I hope that molting and winter is main reason not that she is sick.

    1 year old hen stopped laying over 2 months

    We could not figure out what's wrong with her and vet can't tell what's wrong with her. she is 1 year 1 month old, and had stopped laying for 2 months now. we are in Sydney Australia. From high summer (January) when the temp went up to over 40 degrees, she started to lay odd shaped eggs and...

    Yes, It's the coop with a perch. The weather was quite extreme, it was nearly 38degree for a week and finally cooled down with some heavy rains,now it's over 30degree again. We used some pills the breeder gave us, we also used DE to give them a rub.
