I have noticed in the last few days that my 1 year old Blue Orpington is having some loose, grainy stools; I see it when she eats grass but think it may occur at other times.
She is molting, and looking a little raggedy, but otherwise seems okay--still has an appetite. The other hen in the small coop seems fine.
The Orp eats layer pellets, and her stools used to look like golf balls.
Is there a possibility she has worms? I do not see any blood in the stools, but I am a little worried about her. She's not laying, which I attribute to the molting. (The other isn't laying, either, but she is a beauty queen and can't be bothered. That's my theory---plus they needed to be in more sunlight.)
Thanks for any advice. Should I stock up on Eprinex and Tylan?
