HELP!!!

[sdchickgirl]

We've had the first hot day in a few weeks today, it was 95 and one of my hens is a little lethargic, not too much though. Her crop is a little soft so I think she's had more liquids than solids today. She pooped this, could this be anything?

95 is pretty hot for most chicken breeds. Acting a little sluggish and drinking more than eating is normal on hot days. The poop looks watery, but not super weird. If she perks up in the mornings and evenings when it's cool out then she's probably just hot

Thank you so much!!

I hear ya, currently pretty warm here also.

I agree with PeepersMama that the poop looks OK; increased water intake can result in poops like that.

Below are a couple of poop charts which may come in handy for future reference if you do not already have links to them:
