She was pooping non-bloody, fairly normally yesterday, but this morning I found bloody poop. I'm worried she's not drinking enough because she's in pain, and therefore not getting enough medicine. She made a small raspy noise whenever she pooped last night like it hurt her, plus panting a lot. Would it hurt to give her apple cider vinegar just in case she might have worms? I also want to give her rosemary for pain and probiotic yogurt to help heal her digestive system. Should I give her the yogurt after I treat her with Corid or give her some now? Or not at all?
Another thing to note about her that's odd is she doesn't lay eggs. I think she stopped laying after my other hen passed away, or maybe when I got my rooster a couple years ago. When she did lay, eggs would be slow, but she's a silkie, not a high producing breed. Then there would be very long periods of time where I wouldn't get an egg. When my other hen fell ill a couple years ago, I moved Honey and Coffee (the rooster) into a cage in the garage. That was in summer, and I haven't put them back out since their pen has been overgrown and needs a lot of work to get cleaned up again. Since they've been in there, Honey hasn't laid much at all. Once, she laid, but the egg broke right away. Another time she laid normally. I don't think she's laid since then. But that was a few months ago, so if she was egg bound, she wouldn't have lived this long. Honey was never the layer out of the two, I figured that's just how she is.
