My hen who was out all night came back acting very tired and definitely not her skittish self. She wasn't eating, but drinking a lot. After about an hour or so of her coming back, she started pooping yellow watery diarrhea. (Picture included). I gave her water with electrolytes and 500mg of amoxicillin (split 250 this morning and 250 tonight). She is now eating and still drinking, even preened herself. She still has the watery yellow diarrhea, but not as much as in the picture. Not sure whats going on. Would appreciate any advice ❤

It looks a little eggy in the picture. Could an egg have broken inside her? If it happened here I would glove up and see if it felt like slimy egg or watery.

Did she just run off? She's probably stressed from being out all night.

She didn't come when I called my girls to go back to the run last night. We looked for her hoping she would show up at the coop door but never did. I found her under my deck this morning not acting like herself. She usually runs away from us when approached. I thought it looked eggy too, but I was looking up chicken diarrhea and some was yellow. When I wiped it up, it seemed kinda in the middle of watery and slimy.
