New owner with issue

[DONDChick]

We have purchased 6 15 week old hens. One has very loose, brown stool. I'm concerned. Should I be? What's the solution?

Keep an eye on the poop for a couple of days. Look for signs of being lethargic, motionless, etc. Sound like it could be a mild virus. Chickens have a nasty habit of forrageing and poop is there unavoidable. Some birds will have the runny poop for a few days then clear up. Otherwise keep an eye on her and look for tell tale signs that she is ill. Good idea to keep her separated from the others till it clears up. Steve(BunkyB)
