Green Diarrhea/ Lethargic

Ok thank you.

When I turned the ground in the run there was some straw that was molding and very well old feed too. Yesterday I went out and turned the entire run again but this time made sure to rake everything up and haul it out of there. I also dumped the feed, cleaned it out and put fresh feed in as well as cleaned out the bedding in the coop.

Today I will treat the water with Corid. I have the liquid kind that is 9ish %

Sounds good.

Liquid Corid dose is 2 tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.

Welcome To BYC

When is the last time she laid an egg?

Drinking a lot of water...Check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight.

It's not a bad idea to treat for worms. Fenbendazole (Safeguard) is dosed by weight, so I would treat her directly instead of putting it in the water. Dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight give orally once a day for 5 days.

the SafeGuard dewormer . . . is that the liquid kind? I am having the same issue with one of my chickens (about 3 years old).

I used the paste. However this was absolutely coccidia. I lost 2 chickens before I got it under control and it required direct dosing of Corid, adding it in the water even at “severe outbreak” dose just wasn’t cutting it!

Yes, you can use liquid or paste, the dose is still the same.
