Crop adjustment or gape worm?

[laurenhope98]

Hi everyone! My 3 month old pullet was lethargic Monday morning and afternoon. We isolated her, made her some scrambled eggs, gave her poultry cell and some electrolytes and she has definitely perked up since, but while she has been isolated, her poop has been like a medium to dark green and very smelly. She also has been opening her mouth and shaking her head. I know crop adjustment is usually the mouth movement but I’m not sure about the head shaking…she’s eating and drinking okay, she had slowed down a bit and has slightly picked back up since Monday.

Also, How can I attach a video for you guys to see what’s going on?

Okay, I figured the video out. Can anyone please tell me what this is? More information above^^^

Awe, she's pretty. Are you able to post pics of her crop. I would suspect crop issues before gape worm, just more common.

Sound like sour crop or other crop issue.

I can post them when I get home. It’s been doing its normal thing to my knowledge. Gets full when she eats and is empty by morning time. I felt it Monday and it felt normal. No water or anything like that!

Would sour crop cause green poop? Or what other crop issue could cause green poop?

A blockage can cause green poop because green either means mostly bile OR she could have an infection that's backing up her system

How can I find this out and/or what can I do?

She keeps shaking her head and opening her mouth. I feel like it’s definitely some kind of crop issue but not sure what kind. Her crop has been empty in the mornings and doesn’t feel blocked. What can I do?

At her age, it's like a crop blockage. If it doesn't empty over night, then definitely.
