Hen lethargic, tail down, bad poop, losing balance.

[CloverHenLady]

My 6 month old Barnevelder hen is ill. No others I the flock are sick.
She started lethargic and puffed up, not coming out of the coop. I brought her in the house. I noted mites, treated her and flock with ivermectin liquid at base of her neck and dusted her.
Her poop is very liquid, with strings of green and some red spots in it. Sometimes it is yellow.
She isn't eating well, but is drinking a lot.
So far I have added Corid to her water, added hydro hen and vitamins.
There aren't any vets within an hour who see chickens. So far she has made it 4 days, but I feel she's starting to lose her balance.
Any ideas to share?



is yellow.

Stop any vitamins while on the Corid, because Corid works as a thiamine blocker for the coccidia. The maximum dosage of 2 tsp of the liquid Corid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days should be used. There could be a possibility of Mareks disease with the age and symptoms, unfortunately. Dehydration can be possible as well, so try to make sure that she continues to drink well. You can also give her some undiluted liquid Corid 0.1 ml per pound twice a day to jumpstart treatment.
