I never knew chicken could pee, up until, today.
My chicken, Honey, was hanging just outside the coop while I cleaned it. I turned around just to see her go,
SLPAT!
A jet of water squirted out of her butt. I know she drinks quite a bit, but really?
What was it, and is it anything to worry about?
 
They cant pee.She most of increased her water intake and just pooped a watery substance.I dont know where you live but she could've been hot.
 
Wait, it happened again.
Is this normal, I'm thinking it could be because of dietary issues, but apart from, that maybe worms are the problem, I don't know, please help!

What is your climate/location?
What are the temps?
How old is the bird?
What all and how exactly are you feeding?

Might be good to isolate her for observation of input and output, how much and what she is eating and drinking.
I use a wire dog crate with smaller wire in the bottom and the tray underneath the crate to better observer output and easier cleanup.

When it's hot they can drink much more water and it can 'go right thru them' as they attempt to shed body heat.
A dose of electrolytes can help.

If you suspect worms best to get fecal test done before treating to make sure that is the problem.
 
It's weird, the other chicken hasn't done this at all. They're eating ok, drinking ok. She only stated laying a few weeks back. I have no idea of what's wrong
