Egg Bound?

[Aapomp831]

I learned on here a few days ago that brught green poop can be a sign that your chicken has only bile in its system (from not eating), and it is very serious. My favorite hen had this last week, and I tube fed her and thought she was on the mend then a couple days later she was lethargic again and we ended up having to put her down yesterday. If you can post pics of her poop that might help someone with more knowledge than me help you. I'll see if I can find the link I read last week.

Bile poop is also a result of not eating.

That was egg yolk peritonitis, which is different than being egg bound and will display similar symptoms but not always the same

Yes I know what EYP is

Yes, I know what EYP Is and was treating her for it for weeks. Frankly, I find it easier for people to understand if I say “egg bound with a broken egg” because people recognize egg binding better than EYP. She recovered completely and I am trying my best to compare her to OP, despite the treatment being quite different.

My experience treating an actual (or thought to be) egg bound hen ended up being a different issue, she wasn’t really eggbound, but with identical symptoms, so my EYP bird is all that I can compare with since I didn’t go through with Eggbinding treatments for my hen I thought was eggbound.

I have also found that acites (sp)? can also mimic egg bound symptoms.... acites I don’t really understand.

Green watery poop = bile, typically from not eating. It means she's not just sick, she's really sick. This could be a symptom of a reproductive disorder, but if so, then it's far advanced. I don't believe you're dealing with an eggbound pullet.
How does her crop feel? Hard? Squishy? Empty? (check the crop in the evening at bedtime and again first thing in the morning BEFORE she's had access to food or water. A healthy bird's crop will feel totally different at these two times of the day. How is her breath; does it have a sour, fermented smell? Does she have a dirty bum?
Other experts will likely chime in soon, and these are some of the questions they'll ask about and also what feed is being offered, including treats. It's likely that they'll suggest you put her in a dog crate in the coop so that she can be isolated, yet still within sight and sound of the rest of the flock. Isolating her with food and water will allow you to see if she's eating or drinking, and if there's any change in her poop or if she lays an egg, etc.
I'll keep you and your feathered family in my prayers.

At times, she seems to perk up. I mixed calcium
In with food and she did eat some scrambled eggs and soft cat food. She also took a few drinks. If it is something that requires an antibiotic, are those available over the counter? Yesterday she preferred to be isolated. Today, when I tried isolating her she walked out of the crate...so maybe that is a sign she is perking up?

Seems to be getting a bit more solid...not sure if that means we are potentially turning a corner.
