My hen here was first seen walking low to the ground with her tail pointed down. We gave her 15 min. epsom soak bath and set her in the chicken care facility kennel. 
After a few days she seems ok. Still not laying eggs. Her stools are a bit runny dark brown. She broke out of the kennel and wanted to be with the flock. I put the rooster up so he doesn’t mount on her. She runs around with all the other hens and eats/drinks fine. This isn’t anything contagious is it? He under belly seems swollen and not rock hard when I soaked her. She’s a leghorn about 1 1/2 to 2 year old. TS buy
