I have a 1 year old mix breed hen who is very lethargic and weak. This morning I found her with her face and comb dark purple and when I pulled her out of the coop she had an explosion of green diarrhea. I quarantined her and am trying to get fluids into her. What could this be and what do I need to do?
Crop feels empty
She hasn’t laid in a week or more but our flock is molting and not laying much overall, so I hadn’t thought much of it.
She feels extremely thin. She has always been very skittish and feisty so she’s not one I routinely pick up, hence the reason I haven’t notice her weight loss.
No vent gleet, poop, diarrhea, etc on her backside.
I haven’t noticed any respiratory symptoms.
