I’ve got a seven month old Jersey giant that just started laying a few weeks ago. Well coincidentally around the same time, I noticed her poop has just been this splooty, watery mess! I sent in a sample to the state lab, who only test for parasites, and they said they didn’t find anything. She is on a scratch and peck organic crumble, a manna pro ultimate scratch, and sometimes organic Greek yogurt. She gets to free range here in the woods, and she is the only one with this condition.

I gave her a five day round of ivermectin, didn’t work. I did a safeguard worming for the whole flock, didn’t work. We also did corid, didn’t work. Crop feels good, empties, she’s growing really well, beautiful, active… I’m at a loss.. should I try nystatin? I’ve also given her poultry probiotics as well.

Could the bad poopy be related to reproductive issues? I don’t know how but I just seem coincidental this happen when she started laying… Or maybe I just missed it before, I don’t know. You can’t miss it though, because it’s a watery mess!!!
 
I would use a homogenous layer or all flock crumble and cut out the scratch grains. They can pick out the things they like best in a scratch and peck feed.
Or at least cut out the scratch. If she has no parasites, and you have tried worming, Corid, and she still has diarrhea, I would just give probiotics and check her crop to make sure that it is emptying overnight.
