Where do you find Corid?

I don't know for certain what's going on with my hen. I was sure it was a broken, soft shelled, egg. But she's still not eating. She seems to feel a bit better, but she's had 1 bite of egg and 1/4 of a grape since FRIDAY.

I thought it was a broken, soft-shelled egg. But she's had one bite of egg snd 1/4 of a grape in 4 DAYS! Her poo is runny yellow with black in it, but she's not eating, so I don't know what to do.

I can't find a vet that treats chickens.
Whole I'm glad to see that someone has been able to clear up the issue around Corid.... what you were describing is really not reading at all like something that should be addressed with its use

I dont know what's wrong with her. I tried googling just what her poo looks like and one possibly was severe Coccidiosis. Og course there was also results that suggested cancer and infection.

All I know is I cant keep her in the bathroom forever. But I don't want to put her back in the coop if she's unwell. I really don't know what to do.

The Corid is a name brand for Amprolium, won't hurt her, its a Coccidiostat not an antibiotic, but it may not help.
Looking at your other thread, the poop, the soft shelled membrane and your description I would say she's having a reproductive issue.
I'd work on hydration. See if you can get her to take sips of sugar water or electrolytes. Once hydrated, offer wet mushy feed, bits of egg. Sometimes melon or tomato are also interesting. While we want her to eat her feed, the goal is to get her eating a little something if possible.

I'd also give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week and consider an antibiotic. Amoxicillin is a good choice. You can find Amoxicillin HERE. Give her 250mg twice a day for 7-10days.

She may have some lash material to expel or these symptoms can be signs of EYP, cancer, etc. It can be hard to know. The medications may not help, but its sometimes worth a shot to see. Sometimes they bounce back for a while.

She has perhaps intestinal shedding in the poop, but the substance could also be something else.

I'm sorry she's not doing well, it's the pits when they decline like this. Often all we can do is offer supportive care, see if they improve and if not, then kindly put them down.

Let us know how she's getting along.
