Sick Chickens with watery poop

[Cheeping Crazy]

Hello, I have a question about my 5 chickens who all seem to be having very watery poop and I can not figure out what the cause is. I am very worried about them and do not know what to do anymore. We have tried power drops, vitamin water, garlic, oregano, live yogurt and all sorts.
It all started with my silkie hen for about 2 weeks+ now who seems to be eating and drinking fine, in fact drinking quite a lot of water and has started to sneeze/cough occasionally with mucus sound. Now for the last week all my other hens seems to be having watery poop too now. We did separate them as soon as we noticed the silkie is not well. Anyone got any ideas please?

Sorry, no answer to that question, but I wanted you to know that someone here cares about your post, and that’s too much fluid to be good

@Eggcessive and @Wyorp Rock are the good with this kind of stuff. I hope it all turns out well

Do you have a regular vet locally that you can call and ask if you can collect some combined fresh droppings in a ziploc bag, and take them in for a fecal float? Is it warm where you are? Have you felt crops early in the morning before eating to check for a sour or impacted crop? Crops should be underectable and empty/flat early in the morning.

No vet near me deals with chickens unfortunately. The weather is mild, cool and a little bit breezy.
I will double check their crops in the morning tomorrow but when I have done it always feels flat and empty

Are you in the U.S. or ?

I agree, I would re-check their crops first thing in the morning before they have had anything to eat/drink.

What do you feed including treats?
Do you provide a source of grit?

How old are they?

I'm in the UK.
Ok I will let everyone know once I've checked in the morning.
They are eating layer/ growers feed and some mixed seeds at the moment. They have a pot of grit and oystershells too.
My silkie is about 6/7months old and my other hens are around 9 months old.

Drinking a lot of water sometimes points to a crop issue, so re-check them all and let us know what you find out
