Thanks for all the responses in the lettuce thread - I have one of my girls (Buttercup my pretty brown leghorn) doing watery poo, so I caught her (she didn't like that) and she's isolated in a small cat carrier that's covered up in an old bedspread on the dining room table inside in central heating (my husband hasn't realised yet
) and I've started her on oxymav and polyaid plus.I've had a look at her vent, which is a little dirty and there's a yellow streak there, which would coincide with an egg I found in the 'house / bedroom' area yesterday that was streaked with yolk. I busted my ancona pecking at Buttercup's vent feathers, so I hope I'm doing the right thing bringing her inside?
Hopefully she comes good over the weekend.... Her wattles are pale now, but I'm not sure if that's because she's stressed from my unsuccessful attempts to corner and grab her before I lured her in with food.
She did have worms three weeks ago, but I worded her with avitril plus tablets on the 2nd of July and I haven't seen any wormy poo since I cleaned, disinfected and pestene-d everything three days after worming.
Any and all advice appreciated.
