Yea I've looked at that chart a lot. It doesn't go into enough detail to help me solve the issue

Well I do actually have a question! This morning I saw my barred rock hen poop formed milky white poop. I've seen one other poo like it but she's acting fine. Still eating and drinking. Saw her in the nest box this morning which is nice Bcz she's been laying on top of them for the last few weeks causing them to freeze and break.

I've seen poo like that from my chickens I found out it happened after I fed them scraps with a lot of water like apples watermelon onions etc.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

That is a normal poop. Sometimes they can leave funky poo's but as long as they are not a constant thing, then they are fine.

Definitely read the article on introducing new birds to your flock. It takes time to mix in new birds and even after the initial caging and intros, it can still take months for them to get along. If you have to, after you have mixed the all together, cage the mean bird for a few days or even weeks in isolation. I mixed in new chicks to my flock this year and had trouble with one bird in particular that was overly aggressive. I was caging her for the latter half of the day so the new chicks could get some break from this aggressive bird, but still have to learn to deal with her. After months of doing this, they all eventually learned how to accept each other fairly well.

Good luck and welcome to our flock!
