Whats wrong! Bad poop

Let me know how it's going.
So she's pooping eating and drinking today everything is normal. Her poops are wet but not like that one I took a picture of. I seriously think she got chilled and it messed up her digestion? Because she doesn't have a poopy butt anymore. Not sure how to make my coop more suitable for her now though. I'm going to keep her inside for the rest of the treatment. On day 3 tomorrow, so she shouldn't have much longer inside.

Do you think she will have a tough time re-integrating if you keep her in for more days?

What's your coop setup like? I know you, like me are probably experiencing some colder temps right now. So if you feel she must have gotten chilled, you may need to take steps to provide extra protection during winter. Wind blocking/a place where she (and the others) can get out of the wind, but still have ventilation. Extra bedding for her to snuggle into. Dry areas, etc.

I've never had Silkies, so can't be sure what type of temperatures they can handle before extra things needs to be provided. Perhaps @Debbie292d can give some tips.

I think she will integrate fine, my silkies aren't really part of the main flock anyway and usually keep to themselves, and they are quite sweet. They took in another one of my sick girls until she was able to move back in to the standard flock.

My coop does have a little drier portion with hay that gets built up that the silkies usually take cover under. They have full access to the coop at all times but usually prefer to free roam. I may need to put a sheet of plastic up to block the wind as I feel that's what did it. I definitely think she got wind chilled now, as she's in my garage where there's minimum heating and she's doing perfectly. I appreciate you tagging someone in to help. I've never had silkies before and I know that they are more susceptible to things.
