What to feed broody hen with diarrhea (Help needed)

[Chelsea-85]

Just a little fresh veggies. Cooked rice in small amounts should be okay. It's one of those foods that provide a lot of empty calories. Energy with little nutrition.
Let us know what is available to you at the market. Do they sell food grade fish meal?

Thank you dear, never heard of it in the market and never asked. I will though.
The problem is in the terminologies. When I go the shop, there are plenty of feeds available in opened packs. I have to recognize the feeds instead of knowing the terms, if you know what I mean. I have problem in recognizing the terms mentioned here.

Does the other hen have the same problem? Also, did this one have firmer droppings before going broody?

No, the other is Ok, and the broody was fine before going broody. The diarrhea started about 3 days ago, now it is day 9 on the eggs.

Are the two hens still eating the same feed?

Are the feeds packaged in English or a different language? Either way, do they have logos or company names on them?

The other hen and the rooster do not have problem since the hen eats layer feed and vegetables everyday. I have problem in selecting the feed for the broody to get rid off the diarrhea.
Some of the packages do not even have any writing on them. I have to tell the shopper in Kurdish language, and I don't recognize the feeds available over there. Some pics of the feeds may help me to find the right one.

The starter (baby chicks feed) is available and she likes it.

A Non-Medicated Starter is similar to a All-Flock feed. In fact when I only had 3 hens, I bought them the Non-Medicated Starter, because I could get a smaller bag.
I now have 10 chickens and I buy either the All-Flock or the Non-Medicated Starter-Grower. Whichever is fresher or available when I'm at the store.
I would continue to feed the Starter with a Calcium source separate. Here it's Oyster Shells. But crushed limestone or marble is used in other countries. I'm sure there's other sources of Calcium used that I haven't heard of.
Most of the diet should be a complete poultry feed. GC

Here are some common feeds sold in this country: https://www.purinamills.com/chicken-feed/products/detail/purina-layena and https://www.nutrenaworld.com/product/country-feeds-all-flock-feed

Also, find out if the person selling knows what the feeds are made from. Or if s/he can ask the person or firm making them. That might help.

I have starter and it is fine since she eats it. I just went to the shop, he said that this mixture is good for broody hens I don't know to what extent it will be useful.

@Chelsea-85
This is a label from what current science believes is a correct feed for chickens.
You could copy the details from this and see if the starter feed you buy has similar ingredients.

Only you can know if your hen does have diarrhea. Chicken poop comes in all shapes sizes and consistencies. It could be that your hen is not eating something she had access to before she started to sit. One way of putting that right might be to let her out, or take her out once a day to your yard or wherever she normally lives and let her forage for a while.
The extras you give her such as the bread and corn are okay in very small quantities. The bulk of her food should be a proper commercially produced feed.
Have a look at the label on the feed you buy her at the market and compare it to the above.
