Around june 4 one of my young bantam roo got coccidiosis, after a week and some help from lovely people here made him recover and is active again. But I didn't treat the rest of them with amprolium because in the instructions says it's "prohibited from laying age onwards" so instead the next week I gave them albendazole, however this week I noticed some white watery droppings again and I'm not sure if it's because of the heat ( it's wet season here but when it's sunny it's very hot ) so I gave them this instead.
It's the same one I gave to my young roo but a powder version. As per instructions i gave it to them for 3 days and stop at 4th then continue to 5th-6th day, and today is the 5th day.
I noticed some improvements and the watery white poop only appears occasionally but the problem is that the broody hen in question is NOT the one who has those white watery droppings but another hen and my young roo.
She started sitting on her eggs around the second day I guess? But all her poops are normal even her broody poop after she got out today is normal. She always gets pecked by my other hens so I made sure to keep them away so she can stack up some feeds in her crop, after an hour I went outside again to bring her inside and let her sit on her eggs but I noticed some small bloody droppings and thought its from the birds so I touched her crop and its empty with small water inside and then she pooped and it has blood on it with yellow watery poop probably from the medicine and 2 small worms wriggling but stopped after some time.
Her routine after I let her out is drink lots of water, poop a massive one, find somewhere she can sand bath, and then come back to eat. I didn't watch on what she did today but only made sure that other hens don't bother her.
Again, her broody poop is normal (atleast that's what I think because there's only one broody poop i saw) and after that there's mostly watery poop with a little bit of chunk and some small bloody droppings (The second poop in the pic is the one I saw her poop and witness the wriggling worm ). I let her eat some left over scrambled eggs but she only ate a little probably because she hates the oil and small bit of rolled oats, after that I couldn't force her to eat some more because she really wants to go inside. Please help
