Hello,
Thanks for the add. We just added our 1st chickens to our family. We let our 3 kids (ages 9, 11 & almost 14) pick 16 month old pullets from a local nursery. Being new to chickens, we allowed our 2 youngest chose runts. After about 2 weeks, we lost 1. They are now about 20 weeks old. The 2nd runt, who normally is quite full of energy, has been a little sluggish the past 2 days. My daughter noticed he had gone "poo". I went in to investigate as I am worried he is sick or dying. It was about the size of a nickle. Pic was taken an hour or 2 afterwards. Any ideas?
