Clear Watery Diarrhea???

[Denninmi]

Anything to be concerned about? One of my four hens has clear, watery droppings (I guess it qualifies as diarrhea?) today.

Otherwise, acting perfectly normal -- not hunched or fluffed or lethargic, dug right in when I took them their daily offering of kitchen scraps.

IF you think I should treat with something, which of these would you suggest -- Tetracycline, Amoxycillin, Cephalexin, or Flagyl (Metronidazole aka "Fishzole") -- those are the 4 antibiotics I have on hand.

If she seems healthy otherwise, I would just keep an eye on her. You might consider worming everything with Wazine. It may be as siimple as something she ate.

Can you just squirt some of the Wazine mixture (according to directions) into their mouths instead of depending on them to drink the water from their waterer? I never felt comfortable with just expecting them to drink the worm mixture.
