    Sick Chicken - Lethargic, not eating/drinking well. Green poop

    Unfortunately no real updates on Pearl. She does seem to be eating and drinking a bit more than she was but still not as much as normal. She continues to lay down constantly. Doesn't really stand for more than a few minutes at a time. The limp doesn't seem as noticeable but she still seems a...

    Sick Chicken - Lethargic, not eating/drinking well. Green poop

    Hi all! It's been 14 days since Pearl got sick. She's not really getting any better. Still very lethargic and not eating/drinking much. Also the poop continues to be very mucousy with dark green in it. I feel like we've tried everything (vitamin B, ivermectin, corid, electrolytes, ACV). She...

    Sick Chicken - Lethargic, not eating/drinking well. Green poop

    Thank you both for the replies. I have been giving her water and eggs, mostly from syringes or by cupping it in my hand which she’ll eat out of but it’s obviously much less than she would normally eat. I let her out in the yard by herself and she’ll pick around a little so getting some substance...

    Sick Chicken - Lethargic, not eating/drinking well. Green poop

    Hey all - looking for any advice for my sweet Pearl (3 yr old Polish). She has been very lethargic since last Thursday, laying down every chance she gets (kind of on her side), and not eating/drinking much. She also seems to have a bit of a limp. We have done some Epsom salt baths, we did give...

    Chronic soft egg

    Any suggestion on the Calcium/Vit D tablets to use and the amount? I also have a silkie that is consistently laying soft eggs. I've tried oyster and eggshell and nothing's helping her.

    Rubber eggs

    We are having a similar issue. Year old silkie started laying rubber eggs (maybe 3 in the last 5 weeks). Diet is layer pellets and free range (same as the other chickens who are not having this issue). Appreciate if anyone has any thoughts/ideas! Thanks!

    Lethargic chicken

    Thanks for your replies. We are using the corid now. Another thing I didn’t mention is that she seems very unsteady. After she stretches or ruffles, she loses her balance.

    Lethargic chicken

    Doesn’t appear to be. She does seem to be “yawning” a bit more frequently than i remember. We check her crop everyday and it fills and empties. But read that the yawning may also be related to a respiratory thing...she doesn’t however seem to have any other respiratory symptoms.
