Milky Poop!

[rdjcasey]

Hello!It seems that three of our four chickens are having milky white poops like this. Not sure how long it’s been going on but could’ve beenSeveral weeks.. They are six months old,Active and apparently healthy otherwise though we are not expert in assessing. any ideas what this could be and how to treat it?

Have you fed them any treats high in water? Like watermelon, perhaps? And is every poop like that?

 

[rdjcasey]

Thank you! Yes, they had some watermelon a couple days ago (though, not a lot). We often bait them back to their run with oats, grains, lentils, sometimes fruits. We should probably abstain from all of these until the poop starts looking good again?

I'm sure it was the watermelon. But just to be safe, I'd withhold treats until it goes back to normal to weed out any other possible ailments. It's crazy what the range of normal poo is for chickens!
