I have the same problem with my little check hen.
She his in a cage but I let her out for a little rome about.
I keep my eye on her so no cocks get her.
You could say I am her PIMP.lol
yes she has runny poos and his on eggs.
Its more like water then poo?
thanks yours in roll harrison uk.

jowarollers,
How often are feeding grit? Pull the grit and see if that doesn't clear things up.The grit adds salt and minerals which causes the bird to drink more water and in turn watery poop.If the bird is being bred and feeding young the young are taking all the nutrition out of the parents.Leaving the parents with very liitle and in turn soft or watery poop.Also depends on the feed so if you are feeding pellets you are going to get watery poop.

They have grit as they want it,
I feed them on peas,maize.ect..Breeders mix.
They are not on young yet but are on eggs.
I will remove the grit and see if that works.
It his only one bird that has the problem?
thanks for your help harrison uk.

jowarollers,
keep the grit out for 3 or 4 days and see what happens. Watch for changes, a long as the bird is eating and not losing weight it should be ok. If the bird is puffed up and noting eating and has poop stuck to the feathers around the butt then you have problems.I would treat with Baytril or Fish Flex, baytril can be hard to find so fish flex will be the most likely medication.Fish Flex in 250mg,1 tablet per bird for 5 days should take care of the problem. I don't know if TONY CARRIE FISH FLEX but if not you can purchase from Thomas Laboratories.It's cheaper than buying for you local pet shop or fish store.
Good Luck

jowarollers,
To much grit and pellets will do that to birds. Even more so when they are breeding. It's good to hear that things are clearing up.
