Is this a bad poop - do I need to worry and how can I fix?

[ChickenKelly]

I have 5 chickens, they are about 20 weeks old. One has really watery poops. Any ideas on what may be wrong?

nah...that's ok. Looks like she's drinking lotsa water though! Make sure she's eating well. Here's the poop page for future reference!

Thank you! With a small flock of 5 - one with bad poops and one limping bad... I am scared!

Am quite relieved to find this post! Can I ask... were the poos smelly? And what happened? Did anything change? Any recommendations?

1 of my young chickens died on Monday and I'm keeping a very close eye now on my other 3.

2 of them (which are the same age) seem very subdued, but our older chicken is fine. They're all eating,drinking and poo-ing. I'm hoping they're just missing their friend, as they were quite literally inseperable (!) But I've been getting worried about my remaining 2 young-uns who started pooing water with solid poo, and it stinks! It's not very hot outside, so I'm hoping it's nothing serious. I really don't want another one to die :'-(
