Diarehha

[mrcush]

I just noticed I think one of my girls has diarehha. Does anyone have any suggestions or know anything? Thanks

Diarrhea can be normal if they are drinking too much water on a hot day, or a symptom of worms, coccidiosis, enteritis, too many treats or greens, or from respiratory infections. The age, color of the poops, and any other symptoms and type of feed might be helpful. Even pictures of a typical specimen would be helpful. The steps I would probably take would be to worm them with SafeGuard liquid or Valbazen if they haven't been wormed recently, and put Probios Powder in their water 3 days a week. Buttermilk in small amounts could be added to the feed occasionally to take the place of probiotics. Here is a link with symptoms of coccidiosis: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/12/coccidiosis-what-backyard-chicken.html

Thanks for the article. She doesn't seem lathargic or anything. She is out running with the rest of the girls. I'll keep a close eye on her for the next couple days.
