Droopy, skinny WL hen getting worse -- what to do?

[Barbgarmo]

Hi Speckledhen,

Another remedy for diarrhea is Epsom salts in the feed . . . half a pound per 100 birds or 1/2 teaspoon each. Then feed the sick chickens wheat bran moistened with sour milk or buttermilk.
However I did put the epsom salts in the water.

Here is a link, not what I was looking for, but it helps some.

Mothers had a page with the Ten Commandments for chicken health. But I couldn't find it today.

Thank You for the link on the leg problems too. It was very informative. Looks like you are a wizard.

UPDATE: Someone else sent me info that salts can actually CAUSE versus REDUCE diarrhea. I am not sure myself. So I would recommend researching further before using salts.
