Update:
Everyone is looking pretty good. Day two of second round of dewormer (exact dose, given in a Tbsp of baby oatmeal) I'm starting to wonder if that first round really did anything at all. After dosing like this the water method really doesn't make any sense... 3ml/gal for two chickens who barely drink a 1/4 of that, plus the settling... Direct dose for Nay is 1.2ml, there is just no way she would have gotten enough with the water method. Would another round 10 days after this one be advisable?
One thing is for sure, I'm learning a lot from this experience! Thank you both, @Wyorp Rock and @Cragg Klefor for all your help and shared knowledge!
Did not start antibiotics. Still trying to decide how to proceed. Nay is looking fantastic (well, compared to how she looked when she arrived) comb color is looking better by the day, she's eating well, upright posture and good energy... only problem is the poops. Still runny and unusually foul smelling. I did not vent check her today, but will tomorrow. She hasn't had an out of control messy bottom for a while now, and no longer strains to poop.
I will opt for the fish mox if antibiotics are still advisable, thanks @Wyorp Rock for the tip.
So I guess my question at this point is, would I be seeing this much outward improvement if its salpingitis? Some articles I've read mention a similar build up of "fermented material" in the cloaca associated with advanced gleet.
My local chicken mentor says "be patient, leave her alone and let her heal," but the big runny splats I'm finding under her roost every morning are troubling.
If she were your bird what would you do?
