Two of my buff's have watery diarrhea.They are eating, drinking & are healthy. Is there something I should be giving them ?? There are no worms in their watery poop.
Second question. Two of my bannies are bald, well almost.None of my other hens or the roosters pick at them. They just lost their feathers. It's sad & I worry about them getting sunburned when they are out. Any suggestions on what I can do to get their feathers back on, besides glue "just kidding

Thank You
 
I'm totally new to this, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt! I was worried about one of my hens having watery poop too. This was during an unusually hot time here. I read that they sometimes poop out water in hot weather so that they can take in more cool water and bring down their body temp. Anyway, I don't know if it's overly hot where you are, or if that could be the explanation (or if it's even true since I read it who-knows-where online, lol). I hope your hens are ok!

ok, i would suggest getting plain yogurt and give it to them. It helps regulate that. I sprinkle feed lightly on top or put freah fruit. Stand back , they make a mess

As long as the poo has no blood you'll be OK! Other colors do indicate thing but for now focus on that. What color is the poo?

2nd, chickens molt. It's probally what happened. Give them a shaded area and they will be OK
 
Thanks for your info. It is hot here in Oklahoma. Imp, the info was interesting. The poop pictures were gross, but I did appriciate the site. I guess since I raise quarter horse's & have seen all kinds of poop, I don't get to grossed out

I will watch the hens closely.
