    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    That makes sense! K I’ll just add some to the syringe to get her some liquids! Will report back once I’ve given her a dose!

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Oh missed that thread so thanks for reposting! I’m not sure how much she weighs, so maybe I’ll just start low. And I was thinking of just diluting the poultry cell in the syringe with some water to make sure she’s getting water since she’s not drinking much?

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Ok I’ll try the poultry cell! I’m thinking I may need to syringe feed her the poultry cell, and I’ll add some water to it, since she’s not drinking much. (I’m nervous about it, but I think it would be most effective, and I’ve watched lots of videos and looked at lots of pics to make sure I get...

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    That’s so helpful! Thank you, @Eggcessive ! I’ll try to give her some more water now! And I’ll do the same with the eggs and wet chicken feed too. Right now I just have a bowl of it sitting out for her, but I’ll do smaller fresh batches! And I’ll get some b vitamins too! I was wondering about...

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Update: she ate some eggs again this morning, but she looked so so tired, like she kept almost falling asleep as she sat there. I’m wondering whether she’s hydrated enough? Any thoughts, @Eggcessive ?

    Ok, it’s looking like there are lots of posts on this site about vitamins, but I haven’t seen anything yet about a general multivitamin of some sort? Recs?

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Morning update: I got up early so I could move the sick hen from the coop to the crate so she didn’t have to spend energy doing it herself. She’s looking really tired this morning. 🥺 She did eat a couple nibbles of mushy chicken meal from my hand, and she moved a little closer to her bowl to get...

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Another question about this situation: it looks like my hen won’t completely relax. She keeps looking like she wants to nod off, but then she catches herself and wakes up. I’m not sure whether she’s just like traumatized from being picked on and can’t relax or whether it’s another issue? Any...

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Read this article! Super helpful, @Eggcessive! Thanks for sharing that!! That made me wonder: do you think I should put the dog crate that my sick hen is in inside the run with the other ladies? Right now I have it just outside the run. This article has made me strongly consider building a...

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Update: she nibbled at some scrambled eggs! Not as enthusiastically as if she were well (she LOVES snacks!), but at least she’s eating!

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    She’s about a year and a half-ish? And yes, she does typically lay eggs! And that’s helpful about the mushy chicken feed and scrambled eggs!! I gave her some mushy feed just now and she was working on it, and I’ll add some scrambled egg too! She seems to be just weak, not sick, from what I can...

    Seeking guidance for lethargic hen w/green poop!

    Hi, everyone! I’d love any advice on a sick hen in my flock! She started being lethargic yesterday and her poop was a deep green with some white. She roosted for a while in the chicken run, and when the other girls started picking on her, I separated her into a large dog crate outside the run...
