Yesterday morning I feed my girls bananas. They were in my cabinet and had gotten soft and would be good for banana bread. Just for an example of how ripe they were. So everyone is fine but I noticed one is walking around like she’s drunk. I separated her she was still alive this morning so I cleaned the run and I put vitamins in water and sprayed her with bug spray. Nontoxic of course. I sat and watched her she still walking unsteady. I haven’t seen her eat but I gave her some dried grubs and she eat them. I noticed she has running poop yellow looking. And she flips her tail like she wants to poop. Any ideas. I put good earth in their feed so I don’t think she has worms. But I just don’t know. I lost one just last week due to water belly. I’m sure that isn’t the name of what she had but that’s what her belly felt like. A big squishy ballon.

Please post some photos of your hen and her poop.

What is good earth? Do you mean DE? It isn't a dewormer.

If she's got a belly that is squishy like a balloon, then she may have Ascites which is a symptom of fluid in the abdomen. A couple of common causes of fluid in the abdomen is reproductive disorders and organ dysfunction.
When is the last time she laid an egg?

You treated her with a bug spray? What was it? Does she have bugs on her?

Work on hydration, then see if she will eat some normal feed. Check her well for lice/mites, make sure her crop is emptying. If she's never been dewormed, then consider getting a fecal float for confirmation or deworm her with an anthelmintic like Safeguard or Valbazen.

No belly isn’t squishy. That was another hen. No bugs I just did it as a precaution. Crop is empty. Where did I get fecal float? Feed store?
 
A fecal float is performed by a vet. You would take some samples of poop for them to look at.

If she's acting drunk, then check her over, make sure she's not overheating, has fresh cool plain water to drink.
