Cancer chicken is feeling good, but really green poo

[guest226]

My hen has had diagnosed carcinomatosis for 6 months now! However she is still chugging along. She eats and drinks just fine and she dustbathed earlier today. Overall I think she is not in too much pain and she is doing fine.

But her poops have been green for many many months. Usually they are smallish, dry, and normal cosistancy because her digestion is off, but just now she pushed out a massive green loose blob.

I don’t think my soil has lead in it, but another one of my hens has greenish poop. She acts fine and lays fine. They didn’t eat vegetables besides some lettuce i fed them just now.

What can I do to give her digestive relief?

Try some cooked rice.

I only have cooked brown rice, is that ok?

One loose poop like this or all of them? If a one time thing, I wouldn't be too concerned.

IF the loose poop continues, then you may want to give some probiotics, a small amount of quality plain yogurt (about 1 tablespoon daily) or as suggested white cooked rice with buttermilk.

Most of the time her poops are smallish and greenish still, but still solid/soft but still has structure. Occassionally she passes loose stools and sometimes with a bit of mucus.

Can i feed her cooked brown rice?

(Also,) they get probiotics in their water/dygestive enzymes although I diluted it a lot since I did not want them to be drinking too much electrolyes/salt. I am using Hydro Hen enzymes and probiotic.

Brown rice should be fine.

If you're giving probiotics and hydrogen HydroHen, then you probably need to provide some plain water too.

I still would not worry if most of her poop are normal and this is an occasional thing.

Oh. i do give them access to fresh water but they tend to prefer the waterer with the probiotics

i’ll go off the probiotics for a few days
