I have a hen sold to me as a 'Nera', basically a black hybrid with gold lacing on her neck. She is about 4 and has done the typical hybrid thing of laying and laying until her calcium was depleted. then she moulted this summer (for only the second time in her life, she has a strange cycle!) and has now got a nice new covering of shiny feathers, comb has reddened up somewhat and she is full of beans and feisty as ever. However, she had very runny poop for several weeks and although after worming and treating a blockage in her crop, it improved to some extent, it is still very odd looking, sort of greyish and grainy looking as if she is not digesting her food properly. She did have a blockage in the crop at one stage, which I massaged and I cannot now feel any blockage in her crop. She drinks and drinks, more than any of the other hens and she soaks the wood shavings under her perch with what looks like just water. I have wormed them all with flubenvet and withheld their usual green leafy treats/bits of carrot and potato peeling etc because that seems to cause her crop problems. She is not exhibiting any other signs of illness at all. Has anyone experienced this with a hen? I am not sure what to do, I have read that vets can give anti fungal treatments for a sour crop and that either sour crop or worms are the most likely cause of a runny bot, but that's not what we've got.
