This is a sweetie we hatched about 3 years ago- easter egger blend.
She has been having increasingly watery green diarrhea over the last couple of weeks and has gone from moving around the coop to being more self isolating. Epson salt bath but didnt feel any stuck egg or reproductive bulging. She has had thin shelled eggs in the past despite calcium supplements.
Currently drinking plenty on her own, and eating worms and oats out of my hand and intermittently going to the feeder. She seems just tired (dehydrated no doubt!) and isn't moving to food that much. She is now rejecting eggs and yogurt and I am giving 1cc of nutridrench per day. No visible parasites around the vent or in the rest of our girls.
Lastly she has too much energy to happily be nestled up in a box in our kitchen where we usually do chicken care. Its an odd combo. I have never treated for internal parasites as we hatch from egg but maybe I am missing something? I read suggestions for corid but have never used it now really know how and if it is a good idea for a sick little girl
Please help, she is our favorite girl!
PS first pic is a different poop than usual and it stank so I thought maybe it was her version of a cecal poop now that she is ill?
