Chicken see's stuff and acting crazy!?!

You should see if there is a store called "Tractor Supply" around you they sometimes have babychicks and ducklings.

I’ve checked, out of season for them until spring

Also, I’ve checked my local flea markets, and no such luck there either!

Her poop is like a dark green with some white but its not diahhria

She gets food that has fatty amini acids, nutrieted water and this liquid we add to there water supply so they wont get worms or parasites.

I dont know alot about eggs but she not a egg laying chicken, her blood is gamefowl but im not sure if that makes a diffrence.

Anything you reccomend to rule out worms?

Yes, I see now that she is a gamefowl, so she probably won't lay many, if any, eggs until next spring.

If you can post a photo of the products you use in your water that would be good.

I would see if she will eat some chick starter, give her a direct dose of poultry vitamins 2 times a week and cut out whatever you are adding to her water for the time being. You can get Valbazen or Safeguard at feed stores like Tractor Supply.

I know she is probably flighty and hard to catch, but if you can, try to check her crop for a couple of mornings to see if it's empty.

Dosage for Valbazen is 1/2 ml orally and then repeated in 10 days. Fenbendazole (Safeguard) dosage is 1/4 ml per pound given for 5 days in a row.
