Please help! Sick hen, watery green poo.

We have newcastles in the state, and a day or so ago there was a thred frorm a lady in San Jose who had a hen with same symptoms.
To the best of my knowledge, so far all the Newcastle cases are in Southern California and none have been reported in San Jose or Santa Clara County so far. knock wood.

Not an expert either. I use Valbazen to worm usually, but I would use that or the SafeGuard fenbendazole which comes in liquid goat wormer or horse paste. Use 1/4 ml per pound of the SafeGuard or 1/2 to 3/4 ml of the Valbazen orally. Either one should be repeated in 10 days. Keep her bottom clean, so poop does not attaract flies and maggots. Sometimes a secondary illness can cause these symptoms in hens. Those can be reproductive disorders, such as internal laying, salpingitis, or egg yolk peritonitis, or crop problems. Try to get her eating some chopped egg, chicken feed, and canned tuna, salmon, or liver can be used in small amounts for protein. Offer fluids often.
