Something’s killing my flock

[Farm life101]

Hello fellow chicken lovers! Recently i had a hen who got ill and didn’t make it and now I have another sick chicken. The thread about the chicken that has passed is here https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/please-help-hen-with-tumors-not-doing-well.1363729/page-2 . The other chicken who is sick now was hatched here as well and has similar symptoms but they just started 2 days ago. She’s lethargic and not interested in any food not even treats and her crop is empty so she hasn’t eaten recently. At first I thought she was egg bound or constipated but I felt no egg when I went up there and I saw her poop when I had her separated from the flock this morning. She’s back out with them now and is staying with them for the most part. But she’s just standing up sleeping. Could this be some disease that they are getting since they were hatched here and weren’t vaccinated? Any help would be greatly appreciated NEVERMIND SHE PASSED AN EGG YOLK WOTH NO SHELL AT ALL, GUESS SHE WAS EGG BIUND JUST WITH NO SHELL LOL

Glad she is better!
I would evaluate feed - what are you feeding, do you provide oyster shell free choice?

I'm sorry you're having troubles - did you send the bird that died for necropsy?

I feed them a mix of naturewise all flock feed and dumor layer pellets as I also have ducks. Yes they have oyster shell available all the time. Sadly my parents couldn’t afford to and didn’t want (even after I explained why we needed to) take the bird for necropsy. I’ve been watching this hen closely and she’s still slower moving then normal and her poop is just like a clear liquid, it’s very weird.

Pooping clear liquid is not good.
Can you get some photos of the hen and her poop?

Her poop this morning is more white than clear but it’s still straight liquid diarrhea and none of my other chickens have diarrhea.

Are all her poops like that?

Have you wormed your flock?

Yeah all her poops I’ve seen is like that but I’m not watching her all day lol. I’ve de-wormed them before but I don’t believe I had her when I did so I can can get some at the store today

She still isn’t eating and has lost weight. She forages and eats grass and she’ll eat treats but won’t touch any chicken food

Have you tried caging her for a few days so you can make sure her crop is emptying overnight and see if she will eat her normal feed?
