I have a young buff orpington hen, around 16 weeks, not yet laying, who I have noticed as of today to be having abnormal droppings and acting lethargic. I do not believe I have seen her eat today, however she is drinking water. Her diet consists of medicated chick starter/grower crumbles and occasional treats of grass clippings and carrots. She and her flock live outdoors with access to a run which has coarse sand. They are not yet allowed to free range in the yard, but will still eat bugs they find in their run.
The droppings are mostly clear/white with green blobs and I found one that was yellow with red blobs. The droppings have been cleaned out of the run and coop and she is currently quarantined. I have tried hand feeding her crumbles, grass, and carrots which she would normally eat with excitement, but she didn't seem interested.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Please respond ASAP if you have any clue. I'm really worried about her and need to know what's going on so I can figure out what to do.
