Hi All -

My 2-year-old barred rock had a watery poop with yellow substance about 7 weeks ago and acted sick for a day or two. She then appeared fully recovered and acts normal except she has not laid an egg since. Her poop has looked normal except it sometimes has tiny amounts of reddish substance. Any thoughts on what’s going on/how to help restore health/laying?

Thanks!
 
Thanks. I have started to suspect something like that but all the material I’ve read indicates those conditions as fatal, but she fortunately recovered quickly and has appeared healthy overall for about 7 weeks.

Unfortunately I don’t have a photo. I am attaching some reference photos from the chicken chick poop article. The first normal one is generally how her poops look now (though she did go through a period with more dark tarry looking poops). The scary poop was high volume and looked more like one of the other watery images (which the chicken chick has categorized as hot weather and egg peritonitis respectively). The weather was not hot when this occurred.
