YELLOW POOP!!! LETHARGIC HEN!!! SOMEONE HELP

[chickenman101]

a few days ago i noticed my hen had diarriah and was acting funny with her feathers ruffled and she would just stand there whilr the others moved around freely.. she even stands while sleeping at night. someone said she may need to be wormed so today i mixed wazine with the flocks drinking water. im not sure if she drank any or not. today when i got home she was acting the same and i noticed her poo was really yellow and runny. could this be from the medicine? i decided to take her away from the flock and put her by herself. is diarria another symptom of anyhthing in particular as well as the way she is acting funny? also since i put her by herself should i add more wazine to her water so i can see if shes drinking it or should i wait a few days since she may have drank it today? is their anything else i can give her to treat diarria? or does anyone have any other ideas on what it could be? thanks for all the help!!

I am glad you added lethargic hen. That is a different story. It worries me when I see lethargic hen. That is not normal. Can you tell us any other signs. Is she eating? Are her eyes closed most of the time? Is she walking around much or just standing still?

You might try researching blackhead on google. My turkey had it and I got over over it with a BIG dose of cayenne pepper in the water and feed. If you use it be aggressive with the pepper. I used a bottle in 3 days. Should work pretty fast, in about a day, if it's blackhead. The chickens like the pepper. Sounds like blackhead but I'm no chicken expert, just researched the blackhead a good bit, but for turkeys, not chickens.
