I have a laying hen (about 2 years old) that’s sick. She has been sleeping in the nesting box lately which is unusual for her and now was spending the afternoon in there. I took her out and brought her inside and she pooped watery diarrhea that shot out of her about 2 feet. It was lots of clear water and had a few small green poops in it. She doesn’t seem interested in food but is drinking lots of water on her own. Her comb is a normal red color and crop wasn’t empty or hard. I did notice her back underside feathers are gone and the skin there is bright red. I have her separated now. I have her drinking water mixed with ip6 powder and apple cider vinegar as ip6 has previously saved my chickens on multiple occasions. Anyone know what can cause chickens to poop large amounts of water with green poops? I’m hopeful she will get better but would appreciate some advice. Thank you!
