My 5 year old RIR has yellow diarrhea. Is this Coccida??

We need more information.
Diet? Set up? Any other symptoms?

So far the only symptom is the yellow diarrhea. She's a very calm, Mello girl, so for her to just be chill, is normal for her. But like I posted earlier, I lost a lil Serama hen on Sunday with the same exact diarrhea. And I kept her isolated from the rest. She eventually stopped eating, I religiously gave her pre & probiotics with electrolytes & oregano with spring H2O in a syringe. Everything I researched pointed me to Coccidia h I treated her for that. But unfortunately I'm not sure that was it. IDK!! I'm at a loss!! I need to do something quick, I don't want to loose "Susie" too

Probiotics, electrolytes and Oregano unfortunately won't help this, I'm sorry you lost her.
For the sake of everyone else who's going to help you, what's her diet?
Has she laid recently?
 
Her diet consist of what's in the pics & watermelon, crickets, whole corn on the cob, shredded cheeses,
(they all Love that.) I'm sure there's more, just can't think of anything at the moment. We live in SW FL & we've had A LOT of rain so everything was wet except their roosting & nesting area, for over a week.

What did you treat with, and dose? At 5 years old coccidiosis is less of a risk, they usually have some resistance, but not impossible, treating would not do any harm. Do you know when she last laid normally? Reproductive problems are more common at this age, cancers, infections, etc. How is her weight, is the keel well muscled, or is the bone very prominent? Does her abdomen feel bloated?

Do you feed these treats daily?

How does her belly area feel?

Firm, swollen, soft...hard?

Please limit all of these treats you mention to once or twice a week and then only a tiny tablespoon worth per bird no matter what it is that you're feeding besides the complete balance layer feed.

Overfeeding treats which is everything mentioned except for the pelleted layer feed, causes laying disorders that aren't usually fixable.

These things that you have pictured are extremely high in fat.

I posted pics of her normal feed & added what other foods we give them. She hasn't layed in a while, every once in awile. She's 5 yo

They get scratch maybe 2 X a week, watermelon about 2-3X a week when it's available, mealworms every day. & the other stuff pretty much whenever we have it or can get it. Her abdomen feels normal. The Yellow diarrhea should speak for something....... Right????
