Sick hen diagnosis?? warning poo pics!

[jamayy]

Hey everyone I have a 1 year old isa brown hen that in the past week has had her feathers ruffled and has gotten more and more lethargic I separated her from the flock and have wormed her and given her an antibiotic I was given from the feed store but she is still looking pretty sad...she has lost a lot of weight and has almost lime green runny poo..I noticed her panting yesterday and it was only a warm day she was sun baking for an hour or so though...

Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Her poo is now runnier than the above pic it is basically just lime green and like water

Yes, hot weather can really do a number on them. Make sure they have plenty of shade and lots of water available. You might even put out a few gallon jugs of frozen water...they love to either stand on them or lay by them...cools them down. I run a sprinkler on low to where it just "hits" inside their run..they LUV that. You could also take a muffin tin and pour corn into each of them, then pour water to cover, freeze, and then pop them out and give a few to them in the afternoon in a tray..cools them down and give them something to do, too. Best of luck to you!
