    Broody Hen and eggs **UPDATE**

    A month ago someone gave me a young rooster. I really didn't think much about it because the two chickens I have have never showed signs of being broody.

    Chicken poop

    I noticed today that one of my chicken's (New Hampshire Red) poop comes out in a large glop. It is sorta runny, and looks like snot (when you have a cold). How can I tell if she is sick? If you all want I can post pictures of the poop, but I don't want to gross anyone out!
