Chicken Diarrhea

[Farmer413]

I have 16 birds. I noticed one has diarrhea. A few days later I noticed a few had it. I'm not sure what to do. It's hard to tell which ones have it. They free range during the day. They seem to act normal except they have a bad habit of laying eggs under the roosts this spring. Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorry for the late response. Give them buttermilk mixed with plain boiled white rice mixed in the feed for a few days. That should clear up diarrhea.

I appreciate it. It seems as though it cleared up on its own.

There is one bird however that has watery diarrhea. I just noticed it over the past 2 days. She doesn't want to be near the other chickens. She sits constantly and seems like she wants to push out an egg. I did put on a glove and check about an inch into her vent but I didn't feel anything that felt like an egg. Alls that came out was a tiny bit of watery diarrhea. She just wants to be left alone in a quiet spot. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
