My 3 yr. old Aracauna went through a brooding session a few weeks back. When she came out of it she started to lay again. this past week though she began to act docile- moves about the yard and house and settles in for periods at a time. Her food intake has progressively declined but continues to drink. She hasn't lost weight. She did develop a poopy butt which I have washed a couple of time already. No mites or lice. I would like to give her a wormer but no feed supply or pet stores carry a broad spectrum wormer and the local vets will not supply w/o an exam (by appt. only, no walk-ins- i tried) and this being Saturday afternoon already we are on our own for the remainder of the weekend.
I have attached samples of her latest poop- dark spinach green w/ yellow stuff (hoping this isn't blackhead) and the generally watery w/ white version.
Could this all just be an extension of the brooding process? Any opinions or suggestions are much appreciated.

I have one other Aracauna and three golden sex links who are all fine. The photos are all from today.
