Hell I have a buff Orphinton that’ll be 1 year in April. She went through a pretty good molt. Her head was last. She seemed a bit off but I’ve asked in other groups and the assured me it was molting this was around 1-15 enclosed photos.
Yesterday she went to roost after a free range at 1:45 pm cold but sunny day!
this seemed odd so I took photo and started on a nitradrenxh for flock and string for her.
On the 15th her appearance looked like coccidiosis and than yesterday as well. Photo enclosed with her on roost. Her and another lady share a roost and there was vey loose poo the other day. Anyway does she look like she has coccidiosis?
I’ve checked for worms , and I haven’t seen anything. Her comb has shrunk and was pale that what prompted me to question if due to molt on 1-15
Thank you

Treating with Corid won't hurt anything- treat the whole flock by adding it to their water supply, changing it daily (I forget how many days but the instructions are easy to find).

However, it's possible this is something else. Check her for ascities (waterbelly) and watch her overall activity level.

It’s odd because she’s active all day. Eating and drinking and she went up into roost early agin today. I’ll have to read up on water belly.
I know what it is but can’t remember how to check. Than you

Waterbelly can be found by checking the lowest point in the abdomen between her legs. It can help to compare what you feel on her to another chicken. If she's got it, you'll be able to feel the difference. If you pick her up, take care to support her weight from her feet (if she'll let you) or by holding her under the breast bone. If you put pressure on a water belly hen's abdomen she will find it much harder to breathe.

If it's there, it is a symptom of either a laying issue or heart/liver trouble. It can be relieved by draining, but again, because it's the byproduct of something else, it's not something that is cured by draining. BUT they do usually feel so much better after the fluid is removed!

Here is a video on how to drain it for your first-aid file. I skip the syringe and just use only the needle (which they show in the later part of the video). When there's not a second set of hands it's almost impossible to hold the hen and manage the syringe.
