Watery poop

[BDutch]

Maybe things get clearer for the experts here with pictures of the poop.

I had a poop issue once with one of my chickens. The poop was too thin, color was darker as usual, it sticked on her behind. Checked on visible worms (couldn’t see any).

Because I wouldn't take her to a vet I did some research and administered diatomaceous earth in her food. After a week it got a bit better. After 4 weeks the poop was normal again.

Don’t know if this will help you. But maybe its worth a try if there is no clear answer. DE is no medicine and it won’t hurt you’re chicken.

Offering a little cottage cheese, or a little buttermilk and cooked rice, may help firm up poops while also giving some probiotics.

Get a weight. Either use a gram scales about $15 at Walmart kitchenwares, or pick her up and weigh yourself holding her. Then weigh yourself and subtract the difference. The gram scale would give a more exact weight, where you could compare it each day to see if she is gaining or losing.

Offer some dry feed, but also try mixing a little pellets in a small bowl with a lot of water, and offer some scrambled egg or tuna. My hens eat much less during a molt.

Ok, I think we may have a scale and I’ll try the tuna tomorrow AM.

Any ideas what may be going on?
many thanks.

Like the probiotics I take?

Are all of her poops liquid or just a few. She's molting, so it's possible she may not be eating that well.
Have you noticed if she's drinking more than normal? Is her crop emptying overnight?

She is nothing but bones and feathers. . What to do ?

Photos of feces.

I'm sorry I don't see a photo of the poop

What do you normally feed her?
Was her crop empty this morning?
It could be the angle of the photo below, but looks like she has quite a fullish crop - had she been eating/drinking o.k.?
