Whats wrong! Bad poop

[FirstTimeChikens]

So its my chickens first cold season and they all are having some poopy butts. But this girl is having it really bad, she's a silkie and they aren't vaccinated for cocci like my others are. She's been having some serious poop on her butt for a few days and I just got home from a trip to find it all over her butt. I immediately separated her and put corid in her water. She pooped this out. Doesnt look like a cocci poop like I remember. What's up? It also smelled really bad. I know what the cecal poops look like and this isn't it either. Right? Is something wrong with my flock?

Is her crop emptying overnight?
When was her last egg?
Has she been dewormed?

I will check tonight if it's emptying. Her last egg was a few days ago but she was laying even with her poopy butt. Not deformed but I do have deworming pills.

Re-check her crop and let us know if it's emptying.

What are the deworming pills?

That's what I bought in preparation for worms. Never used it before but it was the only thing I could find. Yes her crop is emptying, just checked. She also pooped again in her makeshift crate, and what I could tell, there was no more liquid just a normal poop. I made sure to put a paper towel down and it looks clean besides the normal poop spot. The first poop smelled like rotten eggs though, and of course the liquid.

Could be she's just a lazy pooper and needs a cleaning up every now and again.

I've seen a few folks show that product. Personally, if I were going to deworm a hen or my flock, I would use Safeguard liquid goat dewormer or Valbazen instead of an herbal remedy.

So if she's a lazy pooper, should I do anything besides trim her butt feathers and keep her clean? Should I continue with the corid treatment?

Should I just give her the pills anyway and see if anything comes out? And if something does I may switch to the actual valbazen medicine.

The liquid is the only thing that concerns me I've never seen anything like it...and that horrendous smell

You can finish the course of Corid if you've started it, it won't hurt her.

Sometimes poop can be more liquid, depending on how much she's been drinking.
Cecal poop can smell really bad sometimes.
I'd keep watch and see if the poop continues to be off or concerning.

I don't know anything about the pills, if you decide to give them, then follow the directions carefully. Let me know how it's going.

Okay. I may treat all of my silkies with corid to be safe. No one else is acting up but I want to be safe. I'll update you with anything serious. I had a silkie die about a month ago from cocci so I was worried it started back up again. However, she isnt acting lame like he was and she still is very responsive and loud. They have been drinking a lot of water which I thought was weird because it's colder outside. Thank you for the help!

Valbazen is very safe to use. Dosage for a 4-6 pound chicken is 0.5 ml (1/2 ml) given orally once, and again in 10 days. Shake it well before using. Here is where to find it if your feed store does not carry it. You can also order it from your TSC.
