Newby is concerned!
We have had our 3 girls for just over 2 weeks now (POL Hybrids) and at some point all have had runny poo, but the other 2 cleared over a day or 2 after starting, the 3rd is taking longer to get over it.
It hasn't been since we got them! The other 2 seem "normal" - firm, curly with white cap. (It's as bad as having kids - looking at poo!)
She has had it now for about 3 days and is very runny and orangey in colour. She is not off her food and is drinking and doesn't look at all unwell - foraging, flapping, enjoying herself, bright eyed, active etc. I put it down to a change of diet / surroundings with each of them, especially as the other 2 got over it within a day or 2, but "Daisy" is taking longer.
Should I be concerned yet?
What can I do to help?
Does it usually clear up on it's own?
All of them are being fed layer pellets via a feeder, with an afternoon treat of mixed corn (just a handful!) and some fresh vegetables - sweetcorns, broccolli, cauli etc and have free range of the garden.
I have been cleaning the drinker / feeder with diluted poultryshield and rinsing well.
Any help would of course be appreciated.
Thanks,
Daveyp
