Well, I can't figure out how to update the title. But here's an update anyway. There's been practically no change. After being like this for like over a week now. She still barely eats, still has low energy, still has the same green wet poop. I've ascertained that the green poop is from not...

Funny you say that. Our first 3 we got at 3mo old (this ill one is one of those) and our other 7 we got a couple months later at 2mo old. We’ve had multiple rounds of “colds” and respiratory issues, put one down for possible marek’s, roundworms, one we treated for canker (though I don’t think...

I’ve only done one dosing so far. I did the 1mg/kg of fenbendazole for 5 days dosage. Which converted, ended up being .03mL/bird of SafeGuard. I did that dosage since it’s approved in the UK for no egg withdrawal time. Maybe I’ll do a second round for just her at the higher dosage? Since I don’t...

I did SafeGuard 2 weeks ago, should I do another round of it? Yeah, even my regular vet won’t do a fecal test for me. Some stuff I read talked about it being green just from excess bile and just not eating enough food. But why she’s not eating enough, that’s the question. Guess I’ll try the...

No change so far. She ate some boiled egg and mealworms so far this morning and scratched a bit in the area I had closed up the door to the compost. Drank some water that I had added Nutri-Drench to. But still just low energy. But enough energy she won’t let me catch her! Ugh... If they were...

I tried to check her out best I could. Her crop was still pretty empty tonight. I did not feel anything that seemed swollen anywhere, but she started pecking at me before I could do a more thorough check. But at least compared to another one her same age, her crop was a lot less full, and...

She did come running when I went out this afternoon, just slower than usual. And ate up a bunch of the mealworms I threw out to them. It’s like she’s just moving in slow motion. Got an egg today already that could possibly be from her, but could also be one or two other ones as well. :confused:

I’ll get a picture when I get home this afternoon. It definitely does not look yellow or like there is any type of egg material in it. I dewormed them all with SafeGuard 2 weeks ago after finding roundworms in someone’s poop. Haven’t seen anymore since I finished the dosing. I have seen her...

Someone had told me watermelon can cause poop like this, which they did have this week, but it sure wouldn’t explain the pale comb or low energy so I’m still stumped.

I’ve got a 9.5mo old chicken that’s been pooping this wet, bright green poop for several days now. She also has a pale comb, low energy, and not eating a ton. I’m not sure if she’s currently laying or not since I’ve a few that have very similar egg color so I can’t be 100% sure. I just dewormed...

Got my first dose done this evening. I was by myself with only a flashlight so I’m sure not everyone got the exact perfect drop. Probably most got a little more. But like 2 drops at most for any one bird. Not so much that I’ll throw out eggs still. I’m not too worried about it with such a low...

The dropper I found has a mark for .3mL and I counted 9-10 drops when it was at the line...so, I say close enough! Lol

So you think a drop from a small eye dropper is about the right dose? I think I have a bottle of baby gas drops I can steal the dropper from to use. Probably the easiest way to get just a drop each. I’ll probably try to dose them at bedtime tonight. Thank you so much for the help!!

Oooohhhh! Yes, that makes perfect sense! Thank you!!

Yeah, that's where I got confused. You are dividing by 100, where all the conversion calculators I've looked at are dividing by 1000 to go from mg to ml. :idunno

1mg/kg, or 1mg/2.23lb. For a 5lb bird, I keep coming up with .002ml, not .02.

Thanks! That's a good option. I only worry that the hens at the end of the pecking line won't end up getting much of their share, and the "alpha" ladies will eat more of theirs!

@casportpony I've been looking into this. Everything I've found says the conversion is 1000 to get from mg to ml, not 100. So now I'm thoroughly confused! :confused:

I found roundworms in one of the droppings this morning. First experience with worms so I've been doing tons of research all morning! I was reading about zero egg withdrawals with the .45mg/lb dosage for 5 days that the UK uses. Anyone follow this dosage with success? Does it also require a...

She did growl at me, but otherwise wasn’t mean. She also just started doing the “squat” the last couple days even though she’s been laying for over a month already! :confused:
