Chickie poo....oh that is nasty....

Poor little Jazmine!  Not only is she broody and I won't let her sit on eggs, BUT those rotten horny teenage boys won't leave her alone!!!!  They are constantly taking turns pinning her down and ...well...you know... and they weigh at least 6lbs a piece to her 1lb.  On top of all that, this morning she was lethargic/limp, unresponsive and had nasty sloppy poo all down her backside.  I brought her in and popped her in Josie's crate with a towel, water w/electrolytes (see bottom for link to the fabulous chicken chick who directed me to the info).... within a few minutes she "popped" out a giant pile of nasty poo.....way bigger than what should probably come out of a tiny little silkie girl.  OH MY how rank that was....bleh.  She seems great now, still I will keep her inside and give her a bath later (she is covered in her poo, another chickens poo, and boy-chicken-nasty...again, bleh!)  
 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the chicken chick and her blog of helpful info!
