Is diahrea ever just, well, a bad day?

Do chickens ever just have a bad meal? Does every squirt have to signal SOMETHING?

gee I dont know.... maybe too much lettuce or cabbage???

If they eat a lot of fruit, they can have the runs, it doesn't always mean something here. If they are acting lethargic etc. then I worry otherwise I write it off.

No it doesn't have to signal something wrong. Even a bit of bloody looking stuff doesn't.

It's also a way of cooling themselves when they have a squirty, watery poop. I've seen it often lately, and it's been in the 90s here.

I see it alot of times for various reasons.......watermelon, other fruit, change in hormones in the spring (getting ready to lay), hot weather. I wouldn't worry about it if its short-lived.
