Good morning!

I have a 2.5 year old Olive Egger who I noticed having small, green-tinted stool last week. I remembered a previous hen having similar symptoms when she wasn't eating, so I isolated her and sure enough she wasn't very interested in her pellets. After I soaked them she was very excited and ate them up, stool looked normal for a while.

The next day, she had stool in photo #1 below. I was worried about egg yolk peritonitis, but was advised to administer ACV in her water and keep monitoring. She had some normal stool and enjoyed free ranging, but this morning while I was scraping the droppings board she had yellow diarrhea in photo #2.

She may be experiencing a reproductive disorder because of the yellow material. Does she normally lay eggs? If possible, could you post pictures of a few more droppings? Do you wish to treat her for infection with an antibiotic in case she has a reproductive infection? Amoxicillin 250 mg twice a day given orally for 7-10 days could possibly help her. Egg withdrawal time is 2-3 weeks. Here is where to find amoxicllin:
