Options for egg bound bantam pullet

Pics
It seems like all of her poops are full of rocks and/or possible glass (which is probably something other than actual glass). I don't see this often. She is finally taking some feed, in very small amounts here and there. Is it possible that she had a small impaction or blockage somewhere and her body is clearing it on its own? She's still not back to herself 100% yet, but she will respond when I call her name and eat little bits of feed here and there. I plan to boil or scramble her an egg. She has been a bit grumpy with the Dutch pullets but they do make an effort to get right up under her constantly, so I can certainly see her encouraging their independence from her. Thankfully she's being gentle but forceful and I'm ok with that. I checked her over for lice but I didn't see any. I treated her with Elector PSP when she was still sitting on their eggs. She only wanted to dust bathe this evening instead of wondering around. I plan on dusting her with permethrin because she is mostly only interested in preening and dust bathing. I hate to use it when I don't see any bugs, but I feel like I am probably just missing the bugs. I plan on giving her 0.25ml of Valblazen in the early morning because I am worried about the urates having a little brownish color. Does this sound like a good plan? Or would you do anything differently? They are getting plain water now, without Corid.

Your plan sounds fine and makes sense. I think she's going to be okay.
Thank you so much. I am so grateful for y'all. I believe I will try to figure out a way to get her some time away from the pullets tomorrow. They get very upset when she's not with them, but they've got to learn to be independent and it seems like Bella thinks it's time.

One more poop to check, please.
This is from my almost 2 month old Turken. She's been on Corid as well, along with everyone else. Am I correct in thinking that this is intestinal lining? The bird is acting normal/eating and drinking normally.

This landed on my daughter's shirt and startled her a bit, so I told her that I would ask.
 
I wanted to update about Bella, my silkie. She was gearing up to go broody, again. No chicks for her this time but I haven't ever been so relieved to have her go broody as I was. I know that being broody can be tough on them, but I would prefer that over a sickness any day.
I still can't seem to shake that "find any and all possible illnesses and treat before they die" on high alert constantly. Since Raymona was my first loss (I've had chick losses before that really hurt my heart, but it's different than a bird that you've spent time with and become so close to) and the fact that I lost her to something so treatable, I guess that's why it's affected me so deeply. I sincerely appreciate you both being so incredibly patient and supportive of me throughout this past year, but especially recently. I've said it numerous times but I'll say it again, my life is better because of the support, help, and encouragement I've received here

Glad to hear Bella is doing better! Hopefully being broody will be the "reset" that she needs.
