I tried that moor gold but that’s crap as my hens dropping are spot on and they don’t have it
They have flax twice a week with the extra pink mineral you advised and two days Gem with a spice mix I make up bit like poultry spice but from the Asian shop
Iodine in the water Monday
Garlic water Friday to Saturday
ACV every day

It bugs me that these two are like this
I had a stock cock that was like that for years, then he came right. My grizzle Thone' cock gets like it off and on.

If nothing you do works, try doing nothing. Take everything out of the feed and water for a week. It's the off season, it won't harm them. There may be something you are giving them that upsets the system of those two. Like a food allergy.
See if clean water and plain food makes any difference.

If, hopefully, after a week you see a marked improvement in those birds, I would start them on just one supplement. For instance the ACV. Make sure you are not using it too strong too.
If that's all well, after a few days add another additive, and watch. Keep adding one extra every 3 or 4 days, and if suddenly you get a repeat of the wet droppings, Bingo! There's your problem.
If that is not solving it we might have to look at plan B :D

I will try it Murray’s the garlic is out so only APC in the water
We know it’s not moor gold as I got that after Leon mentioned it but not found it to be any good I thought it might work on the cock

I have 24 cocks 2 are a bit wet the rest are near perfect
A bloke said to me put a piece of garlic down them for two days I’m not sure how that would solve it I can understand it in the drinker to stop the water intake
The other thing I was thinking about is I never seen this in hens, have you?
