I got 3 new chickens about a month ago. They've been in a separate coop next to my main coop. One hen, a welsummer, has always been more skittish than the other 2 australorps. She is much more hesitant to eat around me when the other 2 are around. She seems to eat fine when I pull her out from the group. She mostly stands towards the back of their small run and keeps to her self. She seems healthy. Clear eyes and nose, empty crop in the morning, no lice or mites, no fluffed feathers or lameness. She is much smaller than the australorps so I'm not sure of she just has a more reserved personality, if she's being bullied (I haven't seen anything) or if she's sick.
I just gave my entire flock a dose of corrid because I found some clear jelly in one of their poop. They finished the 5 day dose a few days ago. I did not supplement with extra vitamins afterwards because I was unaware I was supposed to, but I added some pro/prebiotics with vitamin B to their water today.
I have a small coop in my garage that I moved the girls into last night because we have a big storm coming with negative temps. This morning the welsummer didn't come out of the coop until 11am. I haven't seen her drink today but she had eaten some. Her poop is watery and whitish. Google says Pullorum disease and now I'm very worried. I read you have to cull your whole flock if they have it and I'm freaking out a little. Is this poop indicative of Pullorum? If not, what could be wrong? Am I being paranoid?
