Hi
I have recently aquired my first chickens 4 in all. I got them wed last week 10/06/09 we kept them quiet for the first few days confined to the ark let them free range in the garden at the weekend. All chickens were not pooing properly at first, but seem to have righted them selves, all except one who is still doing really runny poos. We now have quite a dirty bum which was white and pristine before, she seems lively enough but the book says if there is a dirty bum we should go to the vet. Any ideas before I go to the expense and put her through more stress. I am feeding layers pellets in the morning with the kids giving copious amounts of mixed corn and grain as treats plus whatever they are gleaning from the garden (weeds, grass, slugs and bugs)
Thanks
