Bright yellow urates in poop is usually due to a reproductive infection that has caused liver problems and water belly. Green poop means bile and she may not be eating enough. Eight years is pretty old, and most all hens will eventually die of a reproductive problem, cancer, water belly, or a...

At 4 years, I would suspect she might be having a reproductive disorder than coccidiosis. Why did you suspect a respiratory problem—were there any symptoms? Does she lay eggs, and are all of your shells normal and hard? What are you feeding? What antibiotic are you using? SafeGuard dosage is 1/4...

Layer feed is 20% protein and has the 4% calcium, and is an adequate feed. I have fed both all flock and layer depending on if was raising chicks or not. You could take Nugget aside and feed her some scrambled egg and other treats to see if she will gain some weight. Is her keel (breast bone vet...

The second picture does look like fowl pox scabs in the beginning. They then turn tan, brown or dark brown. Fowl,pox is a virus carried by mosquitoes in hot humid weather. It lasts about 3 weeks, and most chickens recover well if there are no secondary infections.

I use Valbazen because the 2 doses 10 days apart get most chicken worms. It is found more online, but some stores have it. SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or horse paste is a little less money, and more common in feed stores and TSC. Here is a link for Valbazen...

I doubt that would be the cause. Most people have their well water checked for bacteria and other problems before using it.

Here is some reading about sugardine dressings: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/bumblefoot-surgery-necessary.1569682/

It could be a bumblefoot infection with solid pus inside. Is there any scab on the bottom of her foot? There are many different ways of treating bumblefoot, ssuch as soaking in warm Epsom salts water to soften the lesion, so that the pus plug can be squeezed out, sugardine dressing, or surgery...

It is good that her crop is emptying overnight. You might check it when she is on the roost this pm to see if she has a full crop. Try wetting a little bit of feed in a small bowl, and offering that to her. Scrambled egg is a good nutritious treat. Worm eggs are not seen in the poop, so it would...

So glad that your hen has improved, and thanks for the update.

It would be very rare for a 6 week old chick to have sour crop. What are her poops looking like? Is she hunched or lethargic at all? Eating and drinking okay? At that age, coccidiosis might be a problem, and that would affect growth. Corid or amprollium is what is used to treat it at 2 tsp of...

Let us know if you get get the eye open and the gunk out. Here is a video on expressing puss from around the eye:

What country are located in? Corid or amprollium is safe for the others. However, most chicks that age need a temperature of 80 degrees F of heat around the clock. And they need to be on a balanced chick feed. Bulgar wheat corn and egg may be lacking nutrients they need. But the chick could have...

After reading the other thread you posted, it may be cold and not getting the proper nutrition. Amprollium is the medication in many countries to treat coccidiosis. Here is the OP’s other thread about the same chick: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chick-not-eating.1623531/#post-27733754

Thank you for the good update.

I would continue to offer fluids and moistened chick feed or a little raw egg. It could be showing signs of dehydration, failure to thrive or coccidiosis. It wouldn’t hurt to get some Corid and treat for possible coccidiosis. Corid (amprollium) dosage is 1/2 tsp of the liquid Corid in a quart of...

From her history of starting to lay eggs later, and then stopping for so long until laying this lash egg, she probably has salpingitis. It is responsible for her not laying normally. Here is a good article about that: https://the-chicken-chick.com/causes-of-lash-eggs-salpingitis-by/

Give her a tablet of calcium citrate with vitamin d or a Tums orally into her beak to swallow. Take her out of the bath and dry her. Place her on a warm towel in a warm room to rest. Offer some water and food to drink. Let us know if she lays the egg with the calcium.

Vitamins in the water is not adequate. Vitamin E 400 IU along with a little B complex for thiamine is what I would give the chick. A little raw egg (stirred and mixed well) is good enough for selenium. Treat for at least 2 weeks. Causes of wry neck in chicks can be head injury and vitamin E or...

How does the other eye look? She may have been pecked in the eye, or she may have signs of a respiratory infection. I would use a warm wet washcloth as a compress on her eye while holding her for a few minutes to soften any crusty drainage. Have some saline or eye wash and QTips available, and...
