My 3yrs old chicken, green loose poop!!
Please help me what I must do?

Symptoms
Loss of appetite, gastrointestinal dysfunction, diarrhea, shallow breathing, but still able to walk and jump
 
Yesterday I went to vet finally and he drained her fluids - a whopping 500mL!
It seems likely that I have a liver disease. I will hear the results of the fluids test today at 7pm and then She will get an injection for that.
Her appetite seems to have returned, so I think she's out of danger for now. Anyway, that's good!

The vet prescribed the following medications: 2 days' worth of oral nutrition powder for dogs and cats, diuretics, liver medication (details unknown)

Today morning's her poop. The green color has faded since oral nutrition powder was administered via syringe last night.

Oh wow! I'm glad she's feeling better with all that drained off. Milk thistle is a good supportive herb for the liver.

Hopefully the vet will keep her feeling well for a long time.

Thank you for worrying about her.
Yesterday and today, she received an injection to support her liver function. It will be half a month before the results are known.By the way, her appetite is now about one third of what it was before, so I think we need to continue to monitor her closely.

Thanks for the info on milk thistle. It seems to be available in my country.

My question is, how do I take the tea leaves?

There will also be milk thistle capsules available and the contents can be added to her feed such as scrambled eggs with a bit of grated carrots or similar to entice her to eat.
