Chicken with sour crop and yellow/clear diarrhea

[Pettez66]

We believe our 2 1/2 year-old chicken who has stopped laying about at least six months to eight months ago as a new flock of chickens joined the flock is having sour crop. She was a little disinterested in food and shook her head a lot and lethargic eight months ago when we started using a natural dewormer. I did see some improvement in her. As the winter has arrived, we’ve moved the chickens into our greenhouse. I do think it’s a little stressful having all seven chickens in there in this space but with 20° or less during the winter, their regular coupe it’s just too cold. She started cogitating yellow liquid two days ago and so we moved her into the basement into a safe quiet place for her with water with electrolytes and probiotics and some white rice and chicken. She seems to be eating bad and drinking a lot of water. She has perked up a little, but the diarrhea persists. On Thursday we will start to give her the antifungal medicine for sour crop. We have massage a crop and she did throw up what appeared to be the what was still left in the crop. I am a little concerned about her Hebrew of the last few months and as we keep an eye on her, I am hoping that she’s going to rebound. I’m open to any other suggestions on how to help her.

I would re-check the crop first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks, if the crop is not emptying, then I'd address that symptom according to the article below.

At that age, if she's stopped laying eggs, then she may have something reproductive going on. It's hard to know unless you lose her and investigate further through necropsy.

Sometimes a crop issue is a symptom of an underlying condition, productive issues, infection, worms and coccidiosis are a few. If she's not been dewormed with an Anthelmintic like Fenbendazole or Albendazole, then you may want to consider doing that.

Photos of her and her poop are welcome. What do you feed, including treats?

To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Here's how to give oral medications:
