I have a barred rock hen that is @ 8 mo. old. she is keeping her left eye closed and acting like she doesn't feel well. She got broody a couple of weeks ago (her and another hen) and finally came off the nest. She hasn't laid since. She seems lethargic and has lost weight. I had all of them on "Rooster Booster" and took them off because a couple of them had runny stools and I wanted to see if that was the cause, or if they had other parasites. I checked her abdomen for an egg and there wasn't one. I have separated her and am giving her vitamins and electrolytes. She's eating and drinking. Her stool looks normal one minute and then runny the next. What to do??
 
Have they ever been dewormed? If not that's what I'd try first with something effective like Valbazen or Safeguard. In your climate you are likely to have a high parasite load in the environment.
