    Sorry scouring is just some mild diarrhea. So that's what I mean by stomach problem. I'm in Canada

    No changes to the flock except that they've been getting garlic oil to treat a mild stomach problem that they've been having - a couple of them were scouring a little. I will try to get a video when my father comes home - I don't have a phone with camera
