What does chicken poop/ urine supposed to look like for healthy

[vicki5112]

No they rarely get treats of any kind, I just had 2 cherry tomatoes & a little watermelon left on a rind. They seem to have the looser stools when they are free ranging but in their small run & coop the stool is normal...except of course for the ribbon like one I'm seeing now in the coop. Thanks.

Please help!

One of my 3 year old chickens doesn't look good. She has a loss of appetite, droopy tail and wings and her poo is like a liquid. She just stands around and when she tries to walk she stumbles. She's also wheezing heavily.

What could be wrong?

What about the water poo? Is that normal or something to worry about?

 

[Fluffychicken7]

And about the 3 year old hen... I'm not sure

Is she polish with a crest though? I've heard of chickens acting strange because of a crest that's tilted.

Found this the other morning on the poop board. All of my chickens seem to be in good health although only two (of four) hens are currently laying (one is molting). Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what it might be? I thought it might possibly be a misshapen egg with a soft shell but didn't really try to break it open.

That happens.If it looks like the membranes that surround the egg before the shell gets put on, then it probably is. I had only one jelly egg, and that was after a traumatic disturbance in the hen house. (They got dusted and wormed for the first time, and it obviously traumatize the little girl.)
