Straight watery/milky poop!!

I picked up my 4mo leghorn for cuddles and when I put my hand under her tummy she shot out milky water onto my jacket.. should I be concerned? She acts fine!

That's not abnormal once in a while. It may just be she's been drinking a lot of water. But do keep an eye on her behavior and poop. If her behavior becomes lethargic and her appetite falls off, and the watery poop continues, she could be developing an infection.

She’s had a large appetite and is the opposite of lethargic currently. And thank you.

If that happens - how would I treat it? Just antibiotics?

Yes. One of these per day for ten days. https://www.kvsupply.com/item/aqua-mox-250mg-capsules-100-count/P06184/

She did it again but it’s got some solids this time. Her crops not very full, but she doesn’t have a loss of appetite.

Two of my girls have been doing poops like these for weeks. Should I treat with antibiotics? I’ve tried multiple things to try rid it, and nothings working. They’re eating and drinking fine, both laying, not lethargic.

No. As long as they are behaving normally, antibiotics are not warranted. But the poop bears watching. If behavior changes, and the poop seems problematic, start a thread and we will advise.

Okay thank you so much. It has been stressing me out! Maybe just keep up with the probiotics maybe?
