Hi maybe someone can help. I have a 6yr old nonlaying Araucana hen who I have been trying to cure for 5 weeks now. I first removed her from the flock due to diarrhea. She was pushing and grunting as her vent protruded and I was able to remove what appeared like a yolk and that stopped. I treated her w cogard for 10 days also have tried probiotics and drench. The specifics to her ailment are... 1. diarrhea continues-it gets stuck all around her vent. I cut all feathers around there and now it's not as much of a mess. 2. She is starving but mostly wants dairy, Cheese, milk, yogurt. She is skinny but has gained some weight back. 3. She is not accepted into the flock. The other hens and the rooster beat her up. 4. She can't seem to get up to roost or to the nesting boxes. She is living in my house and has become a very respectful guest but she is not right. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on w her? Thanks
