is this poop okay?? liquid poop

[Debbie292d]

It doesn’t smell unusually stinky, just like normal chicken poop. I purchased some hen boost probiotics so hopefully this will help. I also bought some chicken safeguard to deworm her. I don’t know if any bird vets in my area so I won’t be able to get her anything prescription

This is where you can get prescription drugs online.

Is the dewormer or the probiotic more important? I am hesitant to give when both at the same time as they both go in their water

I would do the treatment of dewormer first. Then do the probiotics. I like the brand Predue recovery 911 for the probiotics

Should I be concerned about coccidiosis? There is this reddish squiggly now

I pulled her out to wash her butt again any she just pooped this… It is hard to see because the brick is wet from her dripping, but there is clearly reddish-brown in the mix of white

I have a five year old hen that laid a soft shelled egg a few days ago.

the soft shell was slight stuck in her vent (I gave her egg shell yesterday and I will be getting oysters shell in a few days). I gently removed it and there was no resistance, but a little pinkish mucus on the very end of the shell membrane.

Today I soaked her again and found she had very minor fly strike

I have seen poop like that with hens who had reproductive disorders. Since she has had some soft shell egg recently, she may be dealing with something like salpingitis or infection. Hens who have flystrike can have underlying problems. I would soak her again over the next 24 hours to get any newly hatched maggots. Remove every maggot seen and apply antibiotic ointment or disinfectent spray. Flystrike is common in hot weather when flies are around the coop and run. They lay eggs around a soiled vent or on a wound.

Consider giving her an antibiotic such as amoxicillin 250 mg orally twice a day for 7-@0 days. https://hardypaw.com/products/fix-mox-amoxicillin-capsules-fish-antibiotics?variant=44787640041633
I also would consider worming her. Check her crop first thing in the morning to see if her crop is empty or flat, or it she has food in it that not being digested.

SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer or the horse paste can by used 1.25 ml for a 5 pound hen given orally once daily for 5 days would get most chicken worms. Usually the crop should be mostly empty in early morning.

I would get an antibiotic like Amoxicillin as suggested by @Eggcessive

I agree, since she had a membrane stuck and you saw some blood, likely this is reproductive. Could be she's having a hard time expelling more membrane or lash material.

The blood is concerning, it's hard to discern if that's from the wound, infection, cancer, worms, etc.

If she were mine. Amoxicillin, also deworm and give a probiotic.

Dewormer is given orally by weight (see posts above), it doesn't go in the water. A probiotic can be added to the water or you can give her 1Tablespoon quality plain yogurt.

Thank you for your response. I’m going to search for antibiotic and maybe a vet tomorrow. Unfortunately I bought water soluble dewormer (safe-guard aquasol) so I will not be mixing it with my probiotic water.

Probiotics can be given along with almost anything, just not antibiotics. Safeguard nor Corid are antibiotics.

Hopefully you can find a Vet to see her and get her on antibiotics.
Antibiotics and Calcium, along with treating the FlyStrike would be my first priorities.

Aquasol will treat Roundworms.
