Hi everyone!
I've noticed few times on occasion a weird looking diarrhea and it's been a while. I don't know if it's just 1 hen or few. We've been having heavy cold raining for the past few weeks and they were constantly soaked. I didn't notice any odd behaviour, they are scratching around, eating and seem happy to me, there's no discharge, foamy/wet eyes or any other symptoms. Does anyone know what it might be? Is it something alarming? Photos below

It could just be watery from drinking a lot of water. Or could have been diluted by the wet ground. Have you seen this dropping inside the coop overnight also? If you have a vet that will do a fecal for you they can check for internal parasites that could be a cause of runny droppings. But if this is only occasional and everyone seems to be behaving normally, I would just keep an eye on them.

Thank you! It's definitely not diluted with the ground, I was there when it happened just couldn't find the guilty one lol. You are right about consuming too much water, I filled the waterer yesterday and it was almost empty this morning... It can hold around 2L, and I have 10 chickens. So that might be the cause too... I'll keep an eye on them, thanks once again!
