Sorry I replied to you somewhere else I know which one she is I will try this but do I need to separate her? Or can I just feed her away from the others once a day?

She can eat what the others eat (all-flock is good for all your birds) and all the laying hens will help themselves to oyster shell if it is available. But you can give this one a calcium +D3 tablet once a day for 5 to 7 days to help her out. Citracal or a generic equivalent will do and you can get it any place that sells vitamins or supplements. Easiest to administer at night after she has roosted. Just pull down on her wattles or the skin below her beak and when she opens her beak just pop it in. When she closes her beak she will swallow it no problem. The tablet will look large to you but don't worry, she can swallow it, a chicken can swallow a whole mouse.

You can just pop the calcium tablet into her beak to swallow once a day. They can be picked up off the roost before daylight, or once on the roost in the evening, and medicated. I would not separate her unless she is being bullied or picked on.

I will do thes things thank you guys. I remember one time when I was petsitting I had to give (I think it might have been a silky) prednisone for heat stress.

I would watch for lethargy, tail down, not hanging with the flock, not as interested in food. Keep antibiotics on hand in case you see more "poops" like this as it could turn into infection.

She has diarrhea now.. I tried to soak her but feel like it was stressing her out.. idk

So i was letting my hens out and noticed one acting like lethargic/lost. So I picked her up and felt round and then all the sudden this can shooting out... should I be worried. She seems to be normal now though.. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something..
