Fowl pox or?

I'm sorry.

You can try giving her a soak in epsom salts bath to see if that helps give her some relief.

Also if you have some poultry vitamins add that to her water. Offer some egg, tuna or mackerel for protein.

It's possible she could have worms, though the poop is usually more foamy.

So after examining her again very closely it doesn't appear that her abdomen is swollen at all. In fact it seems normal, especially compared to my other hen. She's doing a bit better today and yesterday, eating more and moving around more and had more normal looking poops, but she's still rather lethargic and her appetite is decreased. I think it's possible she may have worms since I've never de-wormed them before and she has symptoms that match an overload of worms. I haven't seen any worms in their poop, but I'm going to go grab some Wazine and de-worm them.

Thanks for the help

Update -

My bird (Wilma) recovered on her own. She's perfectly fine now, and in the end I didn't end up worming her or taking her to the vet. My theory is that i inadvertently fed them a bad batch of fermented food

I gave them Rooster Booster vitamins in their water for about 3 days and some homemade kefir for good bacteria.

That's good news!

If the feed was bad, then that would most likely have been the cause. Glad you caught it, good job.
