This is my 7 month old hens' first autumn and one of them is not laying for 4 days now. It seems they are preparing for the coming winter and their feathers are so fluffy and nice. I hope she stopped laying in preparation for winter. I am monitoring their movements and poops, and at the moment...

True. I didn't realised that. It used to remind me of alfalfa pellets before! I miss my babies... they suddenly have grown up so big now... with giant poops!

The bedding is about 2 inches and the coop is well ventilated. I pick up the poop early in the morning. I used to pick up the poop very clean with nothing attached, but now it is like the bottom is covered with wet wood shaving crumbles. I will keep on monitoring them. Thank you.

I was surprised with 'that' poop too. :eek: I thought moist poop is caused by the change in diet as their feed has been changed from 'growers' to 'egg layers'. it is getting cool where we live and maybe they are still drinking a lot of water as if it is still summer.

I have a similar poop problem. So I took a picture of the poop in question and asked the lady I got my chickens from. According to her it is normal and chickens have this poop if they drink a lot of water. Well this picture was taken in a hot day(30c+). Also I have noticed when my chicken poops...

Hi. My chicken has about two greenish spots on her legs. I noticed one spot a couple of days after I got her (she was only 3 weeks old then) and I thought it was a birth mark. Then today I found another spot on the other leg and this made me worried. I did some search and one of the article in...
