HELP- I know I had 2 of my six 10-week old RI Reds that had very loose droppings, almost like diarrhea, but now one of the other ones has almost CLEAR elimination, like a Sploosh of water. I had been giving them terramycin in their water, 1 tsp per gallon, for 2 1/2 weeks, missing a couple times the past few water changes daily, so I thought I had things covered.
It's been hot as Hades the past 2 days here, and they're spending a lot of the day hiding in the bushes when I let them out for the day. They tend to eat their feed in the morning and the evening when it's not so hot, and mow the weeds in between. Could this hen be guzzling water during the day and not eating as much, or is it a sign of serious illness?
This is the chickee you guys helped me save the first week I had her in March and she had an impacted crop she's my little favorite. I'll check in online in a little while when we get back in.
