my hen has diarrhea, but she is acting normal. I just started using hydro hen, powder that goes in the water, i would really like to get ahold of some oral medication that i can give her besides putting things in her water. Any suggestions

Oral medication for what the diarrhea? If you give too many electrolytes and probiotics and not enough just plain fresh water that can cause runny poo. If she was already having the runny poo and then you started doing that and it hasn't gotten better but she has no other symptoms it would be hard to know what medication you need because you wouldn't know what you're treating. If you can other people who are more experienced are going to ask for a picture of both the bird and the poo they may be able to see things like the color of the comb posture what the actual pool looks like Etc that may be able to help you figure out what's going on. But also sometimes they just have runny poo

If you're just looking for vitamins that you don't have to mix into the water to use isntead I really like the top dressing made by the same company that makes poultry cell you mix it into their food it's not electrolytes it's a vitamin mix so it may not be what you're looking for but I agree I hate adding stuff to the water cuz I feel like it makes the waterers super slimy. I dont think you'll find specifically just electrolytes in an edible form though
