When I first brought my hens home... going on two months now they had some soft stools and a couple had some diarrhea but were otherwise healthy. Someone here suggested that I give them a bit of plain yogurt and some cooked long grain white rice, which I did and it worked well.

I used ACV in the waters week before last. And they are all active eating, drinking, laying, running around the yard... but this morning while I was chicken watching two of the hens had a bit of diarrhea. I went over to examine the droppings but didn't see anything that would indicate worms... what else can cause it, and should I do the white rice and yogurt thing again?
 
Whenever my girls have poop that looks odd.. I dump in the yoghurt and then the next day it looks fine. I just mix it into their food. I have just finished a LONG time with various antibiotics so their systems are a little out of wack. I consider it a part of their diet, and give it every so often.

After reading all the posts on this site with the things that can and do go wrong with chickens, I have added yoghurt to my "tool kit."
 
Anything in the yard they shouldn't be eating? That would be my best guess.
