Hi all,
One of my seven hens has started to act sick - green diarrhea, not interested in food. Earlier, I thought I saw something that looked like an egg membrane coming out of her, but I wasn't able to get a close look, and when I checked her out an hour later I didn't see it. It might have been loose dropping clinging to her tush feathers - I'm not certain.
She's a four year old "Golden Comet" (red sex link) and it seems like this came on quickly. I can't tell whether any of the others seem ill as well. It has been very cold here, so they've been spending a lot more time inside the coop than usual. Nothing different about the feed or bedding as far as I can recall. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
