Non-emergent Thin Hen

[Sassysouth]

I have an emaciated hen and found 2 sores under her wings yesterday. No mites, etc.
I have attached a poop pic, I just took.
She is not being bullied, but is kind of a loner. I have 7 hens and 1 silkie roo. I was debating whether to treat for coccidiosis or worms (when I accidentally deleted my post).

'Under wing' sores are generally the result of damage from a rooster's spurs or toenails. Are you certain that she is getting enough to eat and drink ? Loner behavior is usually the result of bullying or overbreeding by a rooster.

My rooster might as well be a hen. There maybe 1 or 2 of my bantams that will let him mount. Not my full size ones. I failed to mention on this post, this particular hen is a Barnevelder.
