Brightish green poo but active?

[Shadyangel2003]

I do not have a picture, I'll take one tomorrow morning once I can catch it. (I just lost a rooster to idk what so more panicked now)

About 2 days ago one of my chickens has started to have brighter than normal green poo, she is still active. (But also today had like a water stream of water, its not hot here atm 30-40f)

So until I can get a picture she seems stressed to be kept away from the flock should I still keep them seeprate or could this be causing more stress?

(I know there are pictures but none really fit, I also know she is eating some but I don't think the normal amount as the poo is very small like maybe thickness of lack of a better example worms you find in the ground)

Hi,

Speaking of worms, have you ever wormed them? Bright green poop can be from emaciation as well, but you said she's active but eating less.

How old is she, and has she been laying?

It can also be a sign of other things, but without other symptoms, and her being healthy otherwise, I'd try deworming them.

I'd also put them on a vitamin regimen by putting Poultry Cell or similar in their water every other day. That'll help her fight whatever this is.

To get her to eat more, they'll all love a treat of mash, which is just wetting their pellets or crumbles.

I have wormed them few months ths ago just as a 2x a year kind of thing but only did one week as it wasnt for symptoms situation.

As for her age I can only guess as long as the person when I got her didn't lie she should be 2yrs old but never layed eggs. (Got her last year)

Ive tried wetting the food, she was not a fan and only picked the treats I mixed in to try to entice her. Even gave her some egg which she only ate half of.

So, then I'd doubt it was worms. Does she get oyster shell on the side? You could try a calcium supplement in case there's something going on in her reproductive tract. 3-400 mg of Calcium Citrate +D once a day for a few days might help things along in there if that's the issue.

Probiotics can also help if she's got digestive issues.

She has access to oyster shells ( my lil flock of 6 all do)

A picture of her might be helpful. Is her comb normal color?

I'd still try the Calcium Citrate +D, and perhaps Corid, just to be on the safe side. Then follow up with vitamins/probiotics.

Check her crop at night, then first thing in the morning to rule out a crop issue.

her comb is bright (Ive never gave vitamins in pill before and she is so small and the calcium pill is so big I don't want her to choke?)

She should be able to swallow it, but you could break it in half and just give her half at a time. I've given a 2.5 lb silkie hen those whole, and she took them easily.

... that wouldn't cause the poo though right just maybe help with the never laying...would it hurt her is she is jus barren?
