This morning when I let my chickens out of the coop to free - range, one or more (its hard to tell all the brown ones apart) had some very watery poop. This could have just been some cecal poop, but I'm not sure. Their caged yard didn't have any poop in it like it normally does, other than what seemed like overly watery poop puddled. But it also slightly rained last night, and has been raining more often lately (yay). So the poop could have just been rained on and turned into the mud like the rest of the yard. I may be over thinking things here and just getting myself worried over nothing - I'm overly attached to my birds. But if they did manage to catch something - would the response to help them over it be to switch their feed from the standard layer crumble to a medicated feed for a little bit? I hate that idea, but I also don't want to either wake up to a coop full of dead and dying birds, or a giant vet bill.
