I'd give them some yogurt to add some good bacteria to her gut. This will take a day or two to see result. One of my silkie chick had a slight red tint to her poo and after I gave them all yogurt, no more red in their...

I usually use 1 tablet per 1/2 lb of feed. And these chicks usually end up wasting half of their food. Women's daily vitamin is the one I take. And they are female.

Try giving that hen some yogurt. It saved one of my 2-wk-old Silky who was feeling lethargic and shedding intestinal lining. I went to that same website as the previous replier suggested. Lately that same chicken has been feeling...
