Thank you for your response. I’m going to search for antibiotic and maybe a vet tomorrow. Unfortunately I bought water soluble dewormer (safe-guard aquasol) so I will not be mixing it with my probiotic water.
I pulled her out to wash her butt again any she just pooped this… It is hard to see because the brick is wet from her dripping, but there is clearly reddish-brown in the mix of white
It doesn’t smell unusually stinky, just like normal chicken poop. I purchased some hen boost probiotics so hopefully this will help. I also bought some chicken safeguard to deworm her. I don’t know if any bird vets in my area so I won’t be able to get her anything prescription
I checked her crop this morning and it seemed mostly flat, but may still a little food. Should it be completely empty? Also her butt was all covered in white liquid poop although I cleaned and dried her completely yesterday. She is acting much weirder today, normally she runs up to me for food...
I will continue to clean her and monitor the flystrike issue. Is there anything I can do for her if she does have a reproductive disorder? She also hasn’t laid since the soft shell egg a few days ago. She isn’t showing any signs of being egg bound.
Hi,
I have included a picture of my hens watery poop. I noticed it yesterday after washing her and it happened again today after another soak. Is this caused by stressed or should I be concerned about something going on inside. She’s never been dewormed.

I have a five year old hen...
She is eating not as much as I would like and I haven’t been feeding her greens. Just duck food and the occasional blueberry. I have started soaking her foot so hopefully she’ll get better soon.
Update: I’ve been soaking her in epson salt for 20ish minutes and I continue to wrap her feet with cream. She seems to be doing better. I have noticed though that her poop is a greenish color and I read somewhere that it was a sign of illness?
I forgot to mention, when I wrap the bumble I am first sanitizing it with iodine and then I put some silver sulfadiazine cream that the vet gave me on it.
I live in California so frostbite isn’t really a worry and sorry for the photo, her feet are both wrapped. I might unwrap them tomorrow and if I do I’ll post better photos.
