You may be able to get more targeted help if you add some more information. How old is your bird? What are the symptoms she's having, and how long have they been going on? What do her poops look like? Is she eating and drinking normally and is she active as usual or lethargic? What is her regular diet like? These are good places to start.

2 years old and acting normal aside from the diarrhea type poop on her feathers, missing feathers on her bottom and swollen abdomen. Acting normal and would not stand out from the flock aside from her appearance.

Is she still laying eggs, and do you know when she last laid one if so?

I don’t know for sure. We have a flock of 16 with 12 of them laying brown eggs lol!

Yeah that makes it very difficult, I'm sure. Have you felt around her belly to see if she feels like she could be egg bound?
