Excited to meet new friends with similar interests I'm loving being a chicken owner how it all started is a story for another blog lol I originally started with 6 chickens and was under the impression i purchased 6 females but that wasn't the case I ended up with 4 males and 2 females very disappointing. Regardless the 2 hens I still have are beautiful Brahmas and are approximately 7 months old and are still trying to figure out the proper schedule to lay eggs we have gotten some double yoke's some missed days and some regular days but my issue is one of my hens "Paco" has what looks like an oil slick? I guess it could be diarrhea but it has been on going for over a month i have them in a fairly large pen with a hutch (summer/starter) I am building a bigger one for them. The girls sleep on top of it but do go in to lay eggs in the nesting box they free range when we are home, the inside of the hutch is a coated wire bottom so I am not sure if maybe its uncomfortable or what, they have been in my garden and love tomatoes but she had her Poppy before she got into the tomatoes Does any one have any similar problems her poop is black and white? Thank you in advance
