Watery poop, now one hen not getting off roost in A.M.

This’ll be ok for the other hens too, right?
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely try it! Just happen to have some buttermilk in the freezer too.

Sure, no problem. Your hens will scoff it up!

Thanks so much for your help on this. I thought for sure she was a goner!

Well all four hens loved the buttermilk/rice combo the first day. The second day, everyone ate it again—-except for the hen who needs it. Very frustrating!

Just following this up. The sick hen, Esther, is seeming a lot better. She had a molt and has recovered nicely—her comb and wattle are nice and red, she’s acting pretty normal. However, she is still having very loose poop, sometimes even watery. And I don’t think she is laying at all. She is about two years old.
The other day when I cleaned the poop hammock I saw what looked almost bloody/mucousy. Any thoughts??
