Are we talking about different hens here?

This is the title of your thread:

Yes sorry... me and azygous have been talking about three different hens in this thread

Well, I guess that explains it.

So just as an update:
I gave her a fifteen minute epsom salt bath
Put clotrimazole cream on her vent area
Gave her yogurt with probiotics and some calcium
She doesn’t seem in pain or anything but you can tell that she is straining to poop this white liquid out. It does have some blood in it and in her feathers I saw a bit of yolk

She just pooped this

Does not look good with the blood. She might have some eggshell in the oviduct or the blood is due to an infection caused by stuck egg material.

White watery discharge can be a side effect of a blockage from a stuck egg. If this is the hen you suspect of having egg issues, you need to treat her with calcium to get the egg material moving out.

The tinge of blood also indicates trouble in the oviduct. See how it goes, but she may need an antibiotic if a whole egg doesn't show up, which may indicate a ruptured egg.

So, which hen are we talking about right now? How old is she, what breed and since when is this going on?

Maybe you could make a little chart to add for each hen the important facts about each of them.

She just arrived, so I will leave you both to it.

Wishing you all the best for your hens.

If we could refer to each of these three hens by name, or even a number, it would be easier to keep track of them.
