What to feed broody hen with diarrhea (Help needed)

[Chelsea-85]

@Chelsea-85
This is a label from what current science believes is a correct feed for chickens.
You could copy the details from this and see if the starter feed you buy has similar ingredients.

Only you can know if your hen does have diarrhea. Chicken poop comes in all shapes sizes and consistencies. It could be that your hen is not eating something she had access to before she started to sit. One way of putting that right might be to let her out, or take her out once a day to your yard or wherever she normally lives and let her forage for a while.
The extras you give her such as the bread and corn are okay in very small quantities. The bulk of her food should be a proper commercially produced feed.
Have a look at the label on the feed you buy her at the market and compare it to the above.

Thank you dear for your help. I will check the ingredients next time. Thanks again

What would be best is if you could post some clear pictures of your hens poop.
This would enable people to say if in their experience they think it's normal or not.
However, 'normal' varies a lot depending on what the chickens eat.
Poop from a chicken in one country that is used to living on a particular diet may be quite different from 'normal' in other circumstances.
If she does have diarrhea then unless she is ill, it is usually diet.

Thank you dear for your comment. I will try to take a photo of her poop and post it here. You are right, everything is different when it comes to chickens, even I posted a thread about my pullets' breed, I was told that it is not a specific breed maybe it is a local breed typical for my region (Kurdish breed).

It is a bit of a problem.
Because BYC is mostly USA based much of the advice and breed knowledge is of chickens common to America. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here when it comes to breeds but there are so many breeds around the world, some of which are very specific to particular regions it's impossible for anyone to know them all.

Yes, exactly. I agree with you. Kurdish breed is very special my pullet started laying when she was 4 months old she went broody when she was 6 months old. Usually Kurdish pullets start laying before 5 months of age. I know pullets that laid in 4 months of age. laid 8 eggs and went broody at once They do great in breeding.

The same is true for Kurdish roosters we have a mixed genetics call (Shami) in Kurdish. People from other countries come, buy them and head back to their countries. They are huge in size and good fighters

How's your hen today @Chelsea-85 ?

She continues to do her job very well, but I am still worried about the problems she had in the first three days of sitting.
Yesterday she came put twice for two minutes only, she ate well but still didn't drink. Her leg is better; she looks better overall. She ate the new feed I bought yesterday (it is a mixture of highly protein, black mash, cracked corn and cooked rice. I pray even one chick hatches out because she is very committed with the process; I will feel sorry if the eggs fail to hatch.
Thank you for asking dear. I appreciate all your help in this great website. Today is day 10 and I decided to candle them and not to interfere anymore until the end.

If the eggs are all unhatchable you can get some very young peepers from someone else and have her raise them. They must be hatched less than 5 days I am told for this to work.
