Runny Chicken Poop

[nashvillechick]

Yes to the poo chart question. It's helped me a lot.

I have a 14 month old EE hen who has a bit of a dark brown poop stuck to her feathers under her vent. My other EE hen just went through a prolapse and this poop is different. I've been giving them our extra watermelon rinds and they have been free ranging a lot. We have had an extra warm spring. Is this something to be concerned about? I only give them layer pellets and some scratch maybe once a week, max.

Thanks in advance!

My Chickens started like that and the 1st girl died and then another was acting that way. Ended up being Coccidiosis. Needed to medicate entire flock. It spreads fast if not taken care of.
