2 days ago we noticed one of Easter eggers distancing herself from the flock we separated her and she was still eating and drinking we gave her vitamins in her water this morning we checked on her and her eyes are shut she’s puffed up and this was her poop!!! Is there anything we can do for her and what could have caused it?

Based on the poop alone and the fact that she looks unwell to you, my first guess would be IBD - infectious bursal disease (Gumboro). Are there any other symptoms? Is she hanging her head? Beak resting on the floor?

How old is she? Does she normally lay eggs? Has she eaten anything unusual to cause her poop to look coral colored? I would be tempted to get her drinking more, and to treat for possible coccidiosis, then worm her with Valbazen or SafeGuard.

Other than the white poop she’s just staying by herself puffed up and she hasn’t ate anything this evening! Her head is normal

She’s a little over one year old and just finished molting with all of her feathers back she hasn’t laid an egg for a few weeks but none of the hens have I was thinking about treating her for coccidiosis she’s never been worried so I will definitely try that I gave her some wheat bread last night so I think that’s what caused her poop that color she hasn’t ate or drank anything this evening though
 
Try feeding her from a cup, by dipping her beak. She needs fluids mostly, but you can also mix some feed with a lot of water in a small bowl. Corid can be found at most feed stores. Dosage is 2 tsp (10 ml) of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days.
