Hey everyone. I desperately need some help. This is mine and my wife's first go around with chickens so everything that happens is a learning curve for us. I have been able to find answers to everything so far from past threads on here but this one is kicking our butts. Approx 4-5 days ago I noticed one of the hens wasn't out with the others, I found her in one of the nesting boxes panting heavily and she ended up staying there all night until the door opened the next morning. She then just stood outside in one place closing her eyes alot of the time. I immediately quarantined her. At first I thought maybe sour crop but she won't vomit when I message it and she continues to have a great appetite. My new guesses are either worms or coccidiosis but there hasn't been any blood. But again I have had chixkens for like 5 months.... She has been acting somewhat normal the last day or so but her poop is fairly alarming. I have been feeding her yogurt and moistened medicated chick feed which she gobbles up. The poop is VERY wet and the solid part looks like dark spaghetti. To me they don't look like worms but I'm just not sure. Please help as my wife is already very attached. Thank you for your time
