Watery, whiteish poop, lack of appetite, how to treat?

[BerthaBoo]

Hi all, I have a 15 week old pullet. Noticed some watery poop from her yesterday, and today she seemed a little less active/slightly lethargic so I separated her and brought her into the house. Outside she was standing around, head tucked down and in.
Her stool is watery, and the occasional one is whiteish. No pasty butt. Doesn't seem to have much appetite (I tried feeding her some scrambled eggs with berries and vitamins) and haven't noticed her drinking anything yet. Crop feels normal, but I fed her some olive oil just in case it's impacted slightly.

Could this be sour crop? salmonella? yeast infection? I'm new to chickens so at a loss as to how to treat her. She's a super friendly gal so I really don't want to lose her.

Sounds like coccidiosis and an ecoli infection. I recommend getting her started on Endocox and Enrofloxacin. Here's a link with instructions for both products:

You may have to syringe feed her the medications until she is able to drink on her own.

even if they were on medicated feed as chicks, is it still possible for them to get coccidiosis as juveniles/adults?

Absolutely. The amount of amprolium in medicated chick starter is minute and wont prevent coccidiosis altogether.

ah understood! I'll pick up some amprol asap, as that's what I can find near me in Canada. Thank you!!

It would be in your best interest to find something for ecoli infection as well. I forgot that you're in Canada and might be difficult for you to find meds.

I'll call my local vet and see what they can give me without bringing her in. Being from Canada definitely makes it difficult to track meds down.
