Hi All,
I wonder if you could assist please? I've had my girls for almost 3 weeks and seem to learn something daily. I have four Orpingtons & this morning one of them came out of the coop as normal, had a walk around & then did what can only be described as an explosive poo. The watery liquid shot out with a sound like a fart (sorry). The resulting liquid (and it was mostly liquid) was greenish.
Other than this she seems like herself and it's early in the day so I don't know if she's going to be doing that all day.
I'll be at work all day so am a bit worried that I can't stay home ad keep an eye on her 

Any advice or assistance would be appreciated, Thanks.

if she is happy and healthy then don't worry. just like us there poo changes depending on what they eat and drink. if worried put a little cider vinager in there water

When I first started keeping chickens a local farmer told me 'Watch out for those number 8 poos'.  Apparently every 8th poo they do is really big and smelly.  I haven't sat and counted to verify this, but they certainly do some strange poos sometimes!
 

As sheltlandpaul says if she is happy, eating and drinking well then there shouldn't be too much wrong.

Hi shetland Paul & JulieS,
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I already put cider vinegar in their water & give them poultry spice & garlic granules, so hopefully I'm doing right by the girls.

I'll try not to worry - I popped home from work as I was local just to check on them & they seem fine 

Thanks again,
Sue
