    Eggs and my dog?

    A friend of mine told me that he used to put a raw egg on his dog's food every morning. Are the risks of eating raw egg the same for dogs as for humans. In addition, what is everyone's opinion of eating raw eggs. And are the risks greater with my eggs, or the ones that are store bought.

    runny poop

    My chicks are 6 weeks old. I've noticed this morning that suddenly their poop, I think all of them, is very watery. Just curious if I should worry, or give it a few days to see if the problem takes care of itself.
