    Runny weird poop and lethargic

    Hi all! I'm hoping someone can offer some sound advice for one of my hens (Lulu). About a week ago I noticed she was yawning a lot which triggered me to look online and found possible gape worm or respiratory infection. The "yawning" has since stopped but the last few days she's slowly...
