milky white puddle in the run

[caroline11]

Hi this afternoon I noticed a small puddle of clear but milky white stuff in the run. I have had my hens for a year now and have never seen this what could it be? also this is my first molt and the girls are taking a long time to regrow feathers. I don't see any pin feathers yet it started a couple months ago is this normal? I am mixing their layer food half and half with flock raiser. I was told extra protein can help Thanks

The white is urine, and maybe they drank a lot of water that made the stool watery. I would look for more of the same. My hens will take any where from 1 to 3 months to molt. I give mine Flock Raiser all of the time, and put calcium out for them in the form of crushed oyster shell. Here is a link about molting and another with normal/abnormal poop pictures: http://www.grit.com/animals/molting...lp-chickens-get-through-it.aspx#axzz2xaEZDkCI
