Mucky Bums. Why is this happening?

[Mahonri]

My hens love milk in their mash!

They are healthy and no mucky hindy endies.

Beautifulbird, sounds like you are taking wonderful care of your chickens and let us hope that a positive outcome for your sick one will be around the corner!!!!!!

 

[beautifulbirds]

Thank you LAChick, in fact thank you everyone. Much appreciated.

you could remove one thing at a time, say no milk for a week and see what happens, process of elimination, then you'll know what the problem food is.

Unless the milk is raw and unpasturized it can cause the problems you are seeing.

While wheat grass juice is good for humans and has lots of uses it also can create the runny poop you are seeing.

Too much of a good thing can and will make human and animals sickly.

My gang loves yogart and I use the cider vinegar in a gallon water(Plastic container) both seem to help and cant hurt!
Good luck

I agree with MissPrissy about the raw milk, my grandmother gave her chickens clabbered milk--raw milk that was allowed to ferment. If the milk you are using is pasteurized, add a yogurt culture to make yogurt for your chickens. If you can find kefir grains to make kefir, that would be even better. Kefir and yogurt will be a good source of probiotics.
