farting with direaha

[flying_babyb]

No clue what kind of bird, just a pullet, around 4 weeks or so. Weight? You gatta be kidding! She has direaha poop, watery poop according to the poop chart. I also noticed that when she poops she lowers her butt a bit and makes a sound that sounds, well, like a human fart. Should I be worried?

Hmm...My cat had some of those same symptoms when she had a parasitic infection in her intestines (she was a stray). I think it was called Giardia. We treated her with some medication prescribed by the vet, I believe it was a dewormer? Anyway, I hope your chicken will be ok...

What are you feeding "just a pullet?" She should be fed only starter/grower feed. Is she provided fresh water? Lowering her butt to poop is normal, mine have done it and sometimes they even cheep when they go potty.

Mine are on starter feed that we got from TSC. They have access to fresh water and I check it at least 3 times a day (sometimes more). I guess calling my chick Just a pullet sounded bad. I love them very much. All I know is she is a pullet from a bin labled yellow pullets from TSC.

I know you love them. I wouldnt worry too much about her poop unless it turns bloody. I just wanted to make sure she was on chick starter/grower only. You wouldnt believe what some people feed chicks besides starter/grower, then they wonder why their chicks get sick.
