Hen poops orange poop pretty often and (could be other hen) doesn't lay

[LightAurora589]

I have a couple hens, lately I've been seeing orange poop coming from them pretty consitantly, I heard if it happened every couple weeks it was fine but its still happening and its sort of scaring me, I had a hen that has some laying problems that is likely the culprit, I am going to put her in a cage outside to isolate her from the other hens and feed her some wet feed with a calcium supplament, I am only isolating her to see if she is the one with orange poop and to ensure the other hens don't steal her feed because other than that and some bumblefoot problems I recently patched her up for she seems fairly active. I had used amoxicillin when she wasn't laying before and I still have some should I use it again?

Are you sure it isn't cecal poop, which are normal?

I've seen the brownish cecil poop, this hen poops orange which I heard meant the intestine was clearing something.

I've never heard that one. I think it depends on diet.

We need pictures of the poop. Don't worry-we're not squeamish

Is it solid orange or pieces of orange? Have you been feeding them any orange foods? Carrots, pumpkins, squash etc?

I don't think so this week.

Here is some of the poop, its dry but you see a bit of the orange I think.

Looks ok to me.
If she's not acting off then I would just keep observing.

Its a solid orange color alongside some regular poop usually, every now and than it is all by itself, recently I fed the hens some peaches but it hasn't affected color at all, their poop looks more normal than ever at the moment.

BUMP, please help me, I need to find out what to do fast about my hen, I am worried about her since she still lays soft shelled eggs and even than not as often as she used to lay. I am pretty sure she is also still pooping that orange poop every now and than though I haven't seen any blood nor do I think their are parasites. Worried it might be mareks setting in.
