Broody hen with digestive issues? Please help!

[raisingthelma]

@Shadrach and @Eggcessive - update and not sure what to do if anything now except give it time?

My hen is eating spinach, she is pecking around in some forage, and she ate a very small amount of tuna. She doesn't have interest in much water or any other types of food. She is not pooping much at all, but when she does, it seems to be some very small brown droppings mixed with milky yellowy diarrhea still. It's been like this since Saturday, but she only really started eating food (spinach, foraged dead grass, and a little tuna) again yesterday. Is her digestive system just slow to getting back to normal after having broken her from being broody? She is still making a little popping/chirping noise instead of her normal every day cluck. Attached are photos of her vent to show the color I'm talking about. She isn't lethargic, she will walk around, not at her normal perkiness but she isn't just sitting in a corner all day. She's got her tail up too. It's mainly the poop that still looks weird / her not eating a full range of food yet. None of the other hens are like this. It's cold here, so it's freezing to her feathers. I will clean it all up when it gets warm enough. Any thoughts?

@Eggcessive @Shadrach Any chance you have advice on what is going on or if I need to treat for something? My hen is still having some yellowish diarrhea but is having some really small solid stools because she is eating spinach. She pecked at a couple pieces of scratch, but I don't know if she is eating otherwise. Her crop isn't growing, but it's not fully emptying either. She doesn't have a smell by her crop, which makes me think it's not sour crop? She was broody last week before I "broke" her, but she is not going back to normal eating yet. It's been 6 days with the diarrhea. I just don't know if I should treat her for something because I have no idea what it could be. Especially because all of my other hens are fine! I can't really get her to eat anything except spinach. She did have a few bites of strawberries earlier. She's uninterested in eggs!

Hopping in on this thread because it's new. I've had several birds go broody over the years but I gave eggs five days ago to the mama who hatched out beautifully for me last year and first day her broody poop looked normal and ever since then she's had bright pink urates and diarrhea. I'm concerned but don't want to try throwing deworming at her if it will just be hard on her system and not needed so I welcome any insights on poop like this! I've already read Chicken Chick articles and science publications, just wouldn't be able to get lab results on a stool sample until next week and because she only poops once a day and in the dirt it would be contaminated and difficult to send in a proper sample. Kind of odd that on day 2 of real eggs her poop turned when she had been broody on fake eggs for 2 weeks already so I'm concerned. This is a bird who has gone broody many times so I'm not concerned about the extra two weeks since I threw her off many times prior and gave her scrambled eggs and such to keep her from becoming unhealthy. She never had poop like this last year. Thanks for any insight!!
