The Lazy Farm Girl
Chirping
Carrie Mae went broody a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't able to set up a Broody Jail until this past weekend, so she had been trying to sit on everyone's eggs. We pulled her out a few times a day so she would eat and drink. I was finally able to jail her Saturday evening.
She has since stopped making broody booms and has gone back to her normal chatter. So she's ready to go back to her flock except I'm concerned about her poop.
The first day or two in jail, she made big nasty smelly loose poops. But now she's pooping lakes. It seems like she's drinking a lot of water - not sure why since she's in the house where it's cool. A couple of months ago she had watery poo and it was suggested I give her calcium, that it was most likely reproductive. Does coming out of broodiness cause problems? I started her on calcoum thid evening.
I would greatly appreciate any insight!
CM is 9 months old, BCMarans, Kalmback layer pellets.
Thanks!
