Please help!
We have a cute very healthy red cochin bantam, laying eggs, and proud. BUT the bird is drinking faster and faster every day, and pooping it straight out (still looks healthy, but WHAT a smelly mess)
By comparison, we gave two 8-pound hens a 1-gallon watering jug, that takes them 1-2 weeks to drink. This one bantam bird is drinking A GALLON of water every 2-3 days, and then begs for more water. This is an INDOOR bird, it is not hot over here!
I switched the container twice to make sure it wasn't leaking. The bird is nuts. She also complains very vigorously if I enter the room, she sees me for a bit, and then I leave, and stops as soon as I come back (needy?).
