Hi all, my 3 yo RIR has been lethargic the past couple of days. She then got a really poopy butt and I noticed her cloaca and belly is red and maybe a little swollen. I brought her in and was thinking maybe sour crop as she has had it before but her crop seems fine and is emptying. Her poop also seemed normal until today she had massive diarrhea. Really watery and smelly (see pic). She was eating fine and drinking yesterday. Today she's still drinking but not eating much and laying down a lot. I also noticed her panting just a little bit and acting uncomfortable yesterday when I held her which never happens as she likes being held. Her walking gait seems fine but she is moving and walking slower.
She is the lowest on the pecking order and bullied a bit unfortunately that got worse when we got a rooster (will most likely get rid of him now), so I was also thinking maybe stress caused this but I'm not positive. The chickens are free range so she's usually by herself or with one other hen during the day.
I have to wait to give her a bath and clean her up until later today, so I can post a move clear picture of her backside later if needed.
