I have 3 hens and 1 rooster that are a year old and 3 hens that are 10 weeks old. The other day I decided to move one of the adult hens to an inside pen because she had become a feather picker and picked the neck feathers from the other 2 adult hens and the rooster. The following morning her poop was completely watery and it didn't appear that she was eating. She stayed to herself in a corner and did not lay an egg (she is VERY consistent with a daily egg, even in our NY winter). I thought maybe it was stress from being removed from the flock and thought she'd come around. As the day continued she still had liquidy poop and continued to drink, but not eat. Day 2 I took her to my vet. He viewed her sample through a microscope and didn't see any worms. When I arrived home I noticed another hen had liquid poop as well. This is day 2 of hen 2 having watery poop, but she is eating and walking around just fine. I was able to get a stool sample from hen 2 to the vet for a fecal float and it tested negative. He gave me albon for both hens. My concern is that the first hen is very lethargic, still has watery poop and is eating little to nothing. I'm not sure what else to do for her and am freaking out about it. I just purchased some probiotics and had them overnighted to me for tomorrow.
Do you have any suggestions? I'm so scared and feel terrible for my girls
