The scoop on this poop?

[newchick13-58]

Both these poops came from a very weak chicken I have in recovery right now. She’s a fighter but I’m worried about her. She is eating and drinking but is very skinny. I’m assuming it’s some sort of worm. All of my other chickens are fine and laying more eggs then my family can eat. So I’m kinda confused. Any help or ideas. She is a older girl about 4.5 years old but her “sisters” are going strong. She is an amazing chicken and has reaped three broods of baby’s for us. She was such a good mom that she was able to protect a brood of six chicks from a pair of raccoons until we came to their rescue. She just seems weak. I’ve checked her for mites and she’s all clear.

I don’t see anything like worms. You could take some droppings in to a vet for a fecal test to look for worm eggs and coccidiosis. Many times crop problems (impacted or sour crop) can cause them to be very sick. Reproductive problems, such as internal laying or egg yolk peritonitis, can also be common. Can you feel of her crop first thing in the morning to see if her crop has completely emptied overnight? If it is full and firm or puffy there may be a problem. Here is some reading about internalmlaying:

They both are very runny, that's certain, and I don't like the yellowish tint of the one to the right. Thre may be some internal laying problem going on, leading to potential egg yolk perotinitis. The link Eggcessive left is a good one.

I wish you luck with your hen.

For egg issues putting crush calcium tablets in water and giving them a dose in a syringe, will help the egg to dissolve.

How long has she been down?
Has it been wet where you are at? Cocci?

You have posted this before, and it is not true that calcium dissolves an egg. Calcium causes muscle contractions to expell a stuck egg during egg binding. If you have some information that you can share about what you are saying, it would be good to share.
