They were given it a week. We did as vet said - some amount of the gel we put into water and they were drinking it. Everyday a new mixture. I don't remember the exact amounts.This looks like a worm to me.
For how many days did you give them the dewormer and how much per kg bodyweight or kg feed?
They are about 1,5 years old i think.How old re your hens?
Regarding the feed you posted: They might have too much wheat and too little calcium, as the eggshells alone will not suffice. They need additional crushed oyster shells always available to avoid what happened now.
Production layers like your hens will lay eggs even when they run out of calcium.
That would be quite young. So it is important to do as @Eggcessive advised and give them both one calcium tablet per day for a week, to help expel the shell rest and strengthen the eggshells in general.They are about 1,5 years old i think.
I don't think they have shells in there. In fact only the white one had egg thingy and she went roosting and generally seems better but she'll be isolated tomorrow to be sure. The red one with bloody vent made a position like pooping or laying an egg and i noticed that there was something sticking out of her vent! And some of this diarrhea wa leaking through it drop by drop! I couldn't catch it on photo but it seemed very painful. I isolated her in basement for night because when i put her in the coop a hen pecked her at the vent and she ran away. I don't know what to do.That would be quite young.

Calcium deficiency will also lead to weak bones and lameness.
