White "gel" stuck on to my chicken's butt? Please help! Emergency!

[Clucktown]

I would definitely stop tubing water and food down her throat and see how she does eating and drinking on her own. Those are really watery poops.

She just suddenly laid down and than got up again (no more than 20 sec in this process) like nothing happened. Any guess why?
Ps I just accidentally caught her blinking. She was not trying to sleep.

We tried giving her water, but she doesn’t want any. Only food.

Eating food on her own is a good thing. Just keep water available at all times. Green poop often indicates a lack of eating/nutrition.

I wouldn't feed her anything but actual chicken feed or scrambled eggs.

Ok, thank you!

I agree, make the food and water available and see if she will eat/drink on her own.

Watch slick floors, she may have difficulty standing and walking on them. A rubber mat for her to stand on may be helpful.

we already have a card board mat that usually helps her when she’s outside. I have given her calcium and some cephalexin today already, she seems to be doing better and has been eating and drinking more on her own. I took her out for some fresh air and she wouldn’t stop eating grass. One of her poops is starting to look more firm and normal again, while the others are still pretty watery. Thanks for all the help! Will keep this updated.

Be careful of the grass. You will need to offer her gravel if she is eating anything other than chicken feed, and long grass can lead to crop impaction. You might want to check with @Wyorp Rock as to how long to continue the meds. Be sure to purchase poultry probiotics to administer after the antibiotics.

The antibiotics could be affecting the smell, color, and wateriness, of her pooh some too. If she's doing better, then you're on the right path. Yes, let her eat, and drink as much as she will, on her own.
