    Watery poop?

    Thanks Silver Queen! More thoughts... I have the ability of hindsight because I noticed for most of their adult life there was one RIR that always had a dirty bum and didn't seem to keep herself clean like all the others? She had diarrhoea-like mess on her soft bum feathers. I assumed that was...

    Watery poop?

    I have had to make the decision for her tonight. She went downhill quickly, loss of feathers, condition, and very swollen crop. I suspect she had the CP infection after comparing my poo photos to www ones. I know this isn't scientific. I held her, thanked her and said the Lord's Prayer. She...

    Watery poop?

    I have had watery poop for days now? We are heading into winter now so it's v.cold most nights. The girls have clear eyes, clean butts, no bugs, no scaly legs, no bald patches, and are as active and laying just as usual. Each day I am finding one or two have water bombed the poo shelf. Does...

    one chicken lays her egg on the floor everyday

    I have been watching my girls for a while and I reckon that they weren't laying on the floor at all. I installed a triple nest, nesting box in the wall and I suspect the three boxes are too small for the RIR's to turn around in so they get stuck head first with their butt hanging out and when...

    Chicken coop is very muddy! help please UPDATE

    Sweet PDZ is also called Zeolite. It is used in cat litter and added to potting mix in nurseries - as a water holding filler. I am in Australia and I couldn't find sweet pdz anywhere until I finally managed to find a source of zeolite at a commercial nursery who was happy to sell me a few bags...

    DE, PDZ, or pigeon dressing?

    Good news, I have been able to make contact with an Australian company who manufactures zeolite. They have directed me to a South Australian contact who will (hopefully) organise a couple of bags at a not too bad price. Thank you for your detailed and informative discussions. Regards Sir...

    DE, PDZ, or pigeon dressing?

    Hi iwiw60, Thanks for your reply. I have searched and read about DE on BYC. I didn't find or read any negative discussion about this? I invite you to direct me to any of these please as I do not want to cause my girls distress. Compliments to you on you poop shelf & setup... Very impressive...
