Help sick hen

Yes, you can check if she's egg bound, but if not I wouldn't wait for a test with cocci: speedy treatment is important. Since you have the corid, treat her. It has been wet and warm here, so cocci is definitely a possibility. If she doesn't respond well within a couple of days it's time to search for a different problem - unless of course she has a swollen abdomen, then you can try antibiotics but long term prognosis is bad. :o(
 
About the roo:
If the others are cockerels, they might be getting old enough to want to challenge him by now...
 
My golden laced polish gen has clear/ green/ white watery diarrhea. ( I'm keeping her back end clean but it's a mess) she's depressed with droopy wings and not moving much, hasn't payed an egg all week ( normally produces 3 per week) and her appetite is decreased. I know very little about chickens as I've only had them 2 months any advice is appreciated.
In my signature is an emergency/supportive care thread that you should read.
