extremely sick chickens please help

It looks similar to this one:


That was from a sick duck of mine. Might be a good idea to collect a bunch of poop and have a vet check it for worms, coccidia, bacteria and yeast.

That's what the sick chickens poop looks like, which is why I've put "" around healthy. At this exact moment it's 68, has been in the 80s this last week though

Understood the quotes... 68 is not warm enough to cause that, so I suspect that the ones that look healthy will start to look sick over the next few days.

Best to take fresh samples.

I thought so too when I saw the poop from a chicken that was acting normal. My sick one was able to take a few weak steps just now without wing assistance. She also got some corn, apple, and yogurt in her.

That's good. Hopefully her condition won't decline why you're figuring out what's wrong with them.

You should learn how to tube feed.

Here is what my duck's poop looked like after tube feeding and treatment:

Okay..i wil do some research on tube feeding and call my vet to see about the poop and how long it will take.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this, it means a lot

The poop test will take 15 minutes if you insist they do it in house. They will need to do two tests, a gram stain and fecal float.

If you decide to try, get the stuff you need and I can help you do it properly over the phone or here. Fluids must be tubes first, then fluids with food, and your sick bird will probably die if you leave her outside.
