Well I have a pullet named pepper an she is a RIR X Ameraucana she is 20 weeks old an sence week 6 or 7 she has had some yellow poop. If you imagine a normal dropping its brown an white, hers is brown on yellow... These are her symptoms---
The yellow poop.
She has gained NO weight sence week 12.

Her wattles ain't / stoped growing

It could be a lot of things. A genetic defect, some sort of cancer, maybe a disease. I don't know of much you could do other than perhaps adding vitamins and some probiotics and a nutritional supplement. She is young to be worming her but I guess it could be a heavy load of worms, and it may not be a good idea to give a wormer to an already sick chicken. I'd give Valbazen if you want to try that, although usually I see it recommended that worming start around 9 months. Worms tend to be more of a problem for people who live in a warm, moist environment. Ther are definitely present in my soil.

Maybe someone will come along that has a better guess than I or has seen a pattern. I wish you luck!
