Horrid poo

[Bickerton]

I've noticed some horrid dropping s the past few days, the other day one was like water and whichever had done it had backed to the mesh in an attempt to remove it from the run completly, today I found this

All birds seem fine in themselves and we're recently wormed.

Normal?

Any crop problems? Watery poo can indicate a blockage, food not getting through properly. Are any I their crops sort of spongy, and is there a bad smell from their beaks? This might be sour crop.
Or are there signs that any if the crops are hard and swollen even first thing in the morning, when they should be empty? This could be impacted crop.

No smell, i I gave all their crops a feel yesterday, just felt like bags of stuff, not spongy as such, all felt the same though. Will check em first thing tomorrow

watery poos can also be a sign of the bird overheating and not eating enough i have just had this recently i upped the amount of food that i was leaving out during the day and the bird went back to normal the following day .

They've always got food and they all pile on their porridge which is predominantly pellets and banana

Just checked them again, one of their crops is harder thanusual, its not solid but pretty ffirm.

Are the nasty poos still coming, and are other poos normal in the run? I'm just wondering if its a problem with all of them or just one or two.
If you have a peek inside the coop when they are settled for the night, and make a note of who is sitting where, perhaps you could connect the 'evidence' with the 'patient' when you looked under the perch next morning?
Crops will normally be firm at around teatime, when you last posted, as they will have been eating ready for night time. The thing to watch for is whether the crops are cleared by the time they get out of the coop first thing in the morning.

Under the roost is same as usual. The nasty poo has only happened a couple of times, not noticed anything today.

 

[Marigold]

Maybe just an isolated upset then, lets hope so.

All seems fine today . Assume was just a small upset.
