Chicken is weak and poops green.

For the past few days, this chicken has been acting pretty weak. We just got her and she was picked in by the other girls pretty bad but is eating and drinking again. Any ideas what could be going on?

Weakness and green poop is typically a sign of not getting any food or enough food. If they are being blocked from the food by the other chickens, you may be able to mitigate this by having extra feeders around. Failing that, setting the chicken up in a private coop/run/dog crate for a while to ensure they are eating might be a good call, at least until they get their strength back and can keep up with the flock.

Another possibility is that they are eating, but not able to get the food through their system. A good way to tell if this is the case is grab the bird first thing in the morning before they have had anything to eat. The crop should be empty at this point. If the crop is still full from the previous day, you have some internal issues to sort out.

Please post some photos of the chicken and her poop.

How old is she?
She's a single chicken you introduced to your flock? How long was the introduction period?

She's only just starting to eat/drink again - has she been with the flock this whole time or was she removed and given extra care. Does she have any injuries, infection, etc.?

Yes she has injuries and just noticing now a bit of a limp. She want the only one introduced she had several others she used to live with. We found her and her other hens on the side of the road. Tried to find the owner but no luck, so don’t know how old she is. I’ll post a picture of her poop when she poops.
