Hi everyone,
My hen is about 14 weeks old. I have been noticing she has watery poops for a few days now but it has been hot where I live and this has happened before from that. Poop looks relatively normal tho, no blood or worms. Just sometimes watery.
Anyway I was sitting with her cause I noticed her crop was low and thought she needed a snack. I saw that she tried to pick up the food but it keeps falling out of her mouth. I tried a few times and then got worried.
I mixed some polenta, bran and water to make a porridge and she gobbled it up so quickly once I think she realised she could eat it.
She’s acting normal aside from the fact that she stays and drinks water for longer than my others.
Any tips/comments etc to help calm my anxiousness? Her beak seems fine as well, maybe her bottom one is a bit longer than it should be keeping her beak a little far apart but it seems healthy and I had a look in her throat and beak and looked all good.
She does make quite a “honking”noise instead of a cheep or a cluck but cause she’s in her teen years I just thought she was getting her voice.
Thanks so much
