    What is my hen trying to say?

    Chicken has had diarrhoea for a few weeks.

    Hello, new to BYC, I'm looking for advice on one of my hens, I've noticed for a few weeks that her droppings have been very watery. She is the only one with this. The flock was dewormed recently and doesn't seem to have any other symptoms, just droppings that are mostly normal in color, just...
