Watery poop

[azygous]

Of all the many breeds I've kept over these many years, my Speckled Sussex had the most vivid personalities. One of them was a very reliable broody.

If the chick seems healthy and normal, this may be its default poop setting. I had a chicken like that. When she was first brought home, it alarmed me how watery her poop was. I could hear it whenever she pooped - "splort!"

As she grew, her poop remained watery, but she seemed healthy enough. Fast forward eight years. Not a sick day in her life, and she continued to have watery poop until the day she died.

Splort made me laugh out loud. I am now going to use this word regularly haha ty

I actually want to update @azygous and OP about this. My speckled sussex will be 8 weeks tomorrow and has lived in the big girls' outside coop for a week, now. She's not only accelerated in growth but her poop has definitely firmed up since she's started foraging. I think she's just a natural forager and REALLY wanted to pick at worms and bugs outside. She'll still have the occasional 'splort' but otherwise very healthy, happy, and active.
