Diarrhea question

[Justagalwithchicks]

I have an almost 3 year old Americauna hen named Louise. She's the head hen of my three gals. Approximately 6-7 weeks ago she starting having bad diarrhea, wasn't wanting to eat, losing weight stayed by herself. We chalked it up to hard molt. Then she was shivering and going downhill fast so We put her in our garage and gave 7 days of amoxicillin she totally recovered. She is done molting and laying an egg every other day as her usual, acting totally fine, no mites or lice, free ranges supervised about half hour a day, on 20% all flock with grit mixed in and oyster shell offered in the side, other two girls fine, we keep a clean coop (we are retired and able to be with them quite often) her vent is clean, no problems with her in the past at all. But she is starting to by the looks of it having the start of diarrhea. I have never wormed them before . I do have generic Baytril coming tomorrow- it is the only antibiotic I could find available and want to keep for the in case I need it option. Pictures are attached of her poop. Although my husband already scraped the poop board the was under her but you can see how wet it was. My other two have solid poop that look normal. Would you advise for me to buy some wormer and try that? Im trying to be proactive.

I have seen many of those droppings from my flock that are less solid. Mine are all acting normal. They do free range so I assume its because of that or something.
So I wouldn't worry too much, but you could definitely give deworming a try. I use Safeguard Goat Dewormer.

Thank you for replying- I think I may go that route. Her poop board over night poops were liquid. She's is on probiotics for last three days and I gave her a small amount yogurt two days ago with no change..

Is she eating much of her feed? Do you free range?

She is eating normal and drinking but I see her drink more now. I do free range about thirty minutes a day but we supervise. It's pretty much just grass there are eating here n there but it's cold here so the grass is about gone.

More intake of water can and will cause that. It doesn't sound like there's much for her to eat while free ranging anyways. Especially for only 30 minutes.
I would definitely try deworming though and see if that helps!
