    Does anyone notice a change in poo right before a hen lays? The reason I ask is because the poo I've been finding is very watery...clear fluid around the normal green white spotted solid poo. Ok...I'm completely an idiot here...
    It's PEE right!! LOL
    CANNOT wait for that first egg! [​IMG]
