Hi fam,
This is my first time with chickens. I have four easter eggers and they just started to lay this month. The problem is, one of my girls always has loose stool. I was able to confirm exactly which hen for the first time the other day.
This particular hen seems to be the noisiest and most unhappy of the group. Maybe it's just personality, maybe not. I also suspect that it's this hen that was the last to start laying based on what little information I could gain by playing egg-tracker detective.
She's not listless. She eats fine, if not being more hungry than the others. Her plumage and comb all look fine. I'm not sure what to do other than make sure they all have clean water with a bit of apple cider vinegar in it.

- Have any of you ran into this before?
- If so, what caused it and what made it better?
