One of my first ones had blood in her stools when I first got her... it is something to do with the strange ways that they cope with stress (or don't cope I guess)

Other than that, their stools can be all kinds of weird and wonderful colours and consistencies... and once every 7 poos is a very runny watery yellowy poo.

If their tails are up and heads are up, they are still eating and drinking they will probably be fine....
If their heads or tails are drooping, try popping a bit of cider vinegar in their water (just a splash), give them a day, and they will probably be fine.

Weird animals are chickens, especially to first timers.

I'd be interested to hear how long you spend looking at this page, but a word of warning: don't let anyone see you looking at it. P0rn they would forgive, this they will hold against you for the rest of your life. :silent:
