My 1.5 year old cream crested legbar is very lethargic and has runny green poop. She is not interested in her food. No visible injuries and all of the other chickens are showing no signs of lethargy. I noticed she looked slightly under the weather yesterday but she was eating then so I wasn’t as concerned. I have separated her so I can better monitor her and gave her some pellets and scrambled egg with tumeric and oregano. Any advice on what else I can do? She is mostly done with her molt and is not currently laying but has been egg bound in the past.
 
Molting can be hard on them, and they can lose their appetite. I would try to get her drinking some water with electrolytes and vitamins. Add some water to a small amount of feed, put a tsp of plain yogurt in it, and offer it to her. Some chopped egg or tuna might get her eating. Can you feel of her crop to see if it is empty, full, hard, or puffy? If possible, get some fresh droppings checked for worms and coccidiosis.
