1 of our Sapphire Gems continues to have more watery stool and I don’t think she’s laying, yet no proof on that. She had a hard molt and I thought she was gonna die. Her comb and her waddle shrank and barely got color back in them. Shes active and eats and drinks now. This is my first time with a problem here. The hens are going on 3 years old. Thank you!

You know, what's really funny is that a lot of chickens continue to have watery poo even while they are laying. I had a welsummer hen named Puddles, and she always had "the runs".
I have three sapphire gems (they are my favorite breed of all time) and they tend to have rough molts. I think she should be okay, but I think you should check this link out just in case.
If you ever have any questions about sapphire gems just ask me and I'll be happy to answer them ☺️
