Hello, my 5 week old Americana is not producing the 'white' part (urine), in her droppings. Her droppings are loose and appear like all Cecal type. She has 2 little flock mates which have unremarkable droppings. The only difference I notice with her is that she's not 'sipping' her water and tilting her head back. Instead, she drinks like she eats. Peck peck peck. Every single thing appears normal for her except no 'white caps' in her droppings.

You could start a probiotic regimen with her, or them all for that matter, as that might help if she's got digestive issues. Probiotics won't help the way she drinks as that is rather odd, and I'm not sure there's anything that would change it.

They make probiotic powders for their water, and there's probably dozens of brands, but we've used Hydro-Hen in the past before we started fermenting grain.
