Chicken has complete white poop

[Wyorp Rock]

Smell her breath when you feel of her crop, to see if it has a sour or bad odor. She may have sour crop or be suffering from a yeast (fungal) infection. That can be hard to treat. She also may have other underlying problems, such as a reproductive infection or internal laying. Your dad’s friend just sounds like he was dumping a sick chicken. I would check her crop every morning to see if it was. Emptying overnight. Get some miconazole or Nystatin cream from your pharmacy and give some according to this article:

She also may have a lowered tail, so check for a full lower belly between her legs. Has she laid an egg since she has been there? I would check her for lice and mites on her skin, as WR recommended, and consider worming her with Valbazen or SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer.

Sadly, I agree, it does sound like she's not well and he wanted to get rid of her.
I would treat the crop as suggested, consider deworming and do look her over for lice/mites.
Hopefully these symptoms can be resolved, but keep in mind that there may be something else going on with her.

That is a good theory
I checked her vent and there’s no pushing or any distending. I will keep an eye out though in case she starts pushing or something similar. I did notice a couple hours ago she would occasionally shake her head with her beak open. I think I have heard of this when they have crop infections? But I’m not sure.

Sometimes you need to check for an egg.

A head, & neck wobble, is usually a sign she's either adjusting her crop, or try to dislodge a blockage. The open mouth stretch is both away of adjusting the crop, or she could be burping.(Chickens do burp, & Fart)

Thanks for responding, I really appreciate it!!
I smelled her breath and it does smell bad and and now that I got back from school I see she started bringing up this white transparent liquid from her beak as she shakes her head. It seems to come out of her nose and mouth. She wasn’t doing this before I left. And her closed eye looks a bit more swollen. I’m going to go get the Nystatin now and try that. She hasn’t laid an egg since she got here but I’ve checked her lower belly and I don’t feel any eggs or any bumps. At this point I think she’s doing worse and she’s not even standing up anymore. But I’ll try maybe the nystatin will work. Fingers crossed

I checked for an egg but there’s nothing in her lower abdomen not even a bump. She’s very skinny so I don’t think the previous owner really cared for her.

Okay, that's good.

I'd offer some scrambled eggs, & vitamin water.

I am trying to get her to drink some vitamin water but she doesn't want anything at this point. She is completely limp and the mucus won't stop coming from her nose and mouth. I don't understand how she got so bad so quickly.

Unfortunately she passed away. Thank you everyone for trying to help me, I am still not exactly sure what she had but I realized how sick she was to late. Hopefully she can rest in peace now that her suffering has ended.

So sorry for your loss, and sorry that you had to deal with someone else’s sick chicken. Most people recognize when a hen is going downhill, and unfortunately the man who gave this hen away should have been more aware that she was going to die soon. Chickens can be fun, but I prefer to get healthy chicks from a hatchery or feed store on the first day they arrive, and have a better chance at raising healthy chickens.

I know we feel terrible for that poor chicken, I can’t imagine how his other chickens must be. We hadn’t had chickens in many many years (all of whom we had raised too) and we were actually going to go buy a couple chicks from a hatchery so she could have some buddies and we can get more eggs. I remember as a kid raising the chicks and it was very fun, maybe I’ll go buy a few now that I have so much chicken feed left and have the perfect little coop. I just feel bad for that poor chicken, I tried everything I could but I’ve never seen anything like that. So much mucus coming out and then the white poop. Hopefully now she can Rest In Peace now that her suffering ended.
