Chicken lethargic, yellow/green runny poop

[KLandon16]

Hello all,

I am still new to raising chickens. I have a 6 month old crested cream legbar who yesterday started acting off. This past week we have had a heat wave where I live (Southern Ontario) so all the chickens have felt it.
Yesterday I noticed she was hanging out more in the coop and when outside was just sitting with her wings spread and panting. My first thought was that she was egg bound (she had been laying up until the heat wave started)
I have tried the bum soak, calcium pills, lubricant on her bum but no egg has passed. I even lubed up my Index finger and entered her vent but felt nothing there.
She is now separated from the other chickens and I see she is having green/yellow diarrhea. She is still eating and drinking.
Anyone have any ideas?

Coccidia or heat stress is my thought. I lost two hens to both those symptoms, one to coccidia and one to heat stress. How does she feel when you hold her? Is she skinny?(sharp keel) Is she drinking?

She’s a smaller chicken to begin with but definitely not underweight. Yes she is drinking. She does not fuss when palpating her abdomen or when I was feeling around her vent.
What would I do about the coccidia?

If it was coccidia you need to buy Corid, I think @casportpony has the correct measurements for it. You put it in her water.

In Canada people use Amprol. Dose is the same as Corid.

Good to know, thank you!

Is that seem like the best bet even though there is no blood in her feces? I’ll probably treat everyone just to be safe, but I don’t want to scare myself lol

Is there any chance you could get her to a vet and have the vet check her?

Corid is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water.
