Drinking lots of water but acting normal?

[fivechicks715]

Just had diarrhea, eating and drinking normally. Perhaps drinking too much, she drinks more than her silkie friend, and often times her head is wet because she is always drinking water. Any tips or ideas hot to help her? I have put rooster booster in water a few days ago.

If it had diarrhea, then that sounds normal to me. You could add electrolytes to the water for a day or so to help but if it were mine and it seems normal, I'd just keep an eye on it to see if it starts acting out of the normal.

Thank you! I will do just that. I’m nervous because it is currently in quarantine from my flock for the month since it’s a new addition. I wonder if I should push back the quarantine time period since it’s had diarrhea.

I wouldn't think so unless other things start happening. I think your fine at this point.
