Yellow Diarrhea Problem. Please Reply.

I don't think anyone mentioned fatty liver... I just said "I suspect she has a serious infection or there is something wrong with her liver."

I think I will be able to bring her to a vet, but what usually treats yellow diarrhea?
 
I agree with Casportpony: your hen does appear seriously ill, possibly with a liver problem. You probably won't know for sure what is wrong unless you take her to an experienced avian vet. Hopefully, you'll then know what the problem is and how to fix it. There is no one "cure all" for liver problems (or any disease, for that matter), so we can't advise specific treatments right now, with no definite diagnosis.

Good luck with her.
 
OK this is horrible news. My parents are not letting her go to the vet. Quote on quote, "Using hundreds of dollars on one stupid chicken is absurd. To answer your other question, she is hitting a flat of 4.6 pounds. Hooray! I bought some antibiotics known to treat cocodiosis. I have some other probiotics medicine meant to help digestive health.
 
Cleaned up her area again. Still yellow poop. Regaining little appetite. Maybe she is eating when I was not around??
 
The chickens poop in their water when it is an open tub. We have a nipple system and I was worried that maybe she was dehrydated using that

I'm going to have to agree with your parents... Except that chickens aren't "stupid". I am WELL aware of what kind of love one can have for an animal. We had the same thing go on here with our Golden Retriever. MY parents couldn't afford the operation for a simple procedure, and we had to surrender him to someone else. (she offered, but he ended up having cancer and had to be euthenized). Long story short, do what you can, and trust that your parents know what's best. (I'M a teenager too, so I know it's hard to do that)
