Green poo (solid)

[Blackdog406]

Hey! So ive got a couple juvenile brahma hens - they are so sweet but I will NEVER get them again. I started with 3. One failed to thrive. Right after it died, another one started losing weight. She eats. She drinks. She's starting to get weak now. Her poop is solid but BRIGHT GREEN. I will post a Pic. She's now getting lethargic. I have to assume it's because despite her eating she's wasting away. I've never seen any worms in her poop, but maybe I should try to worm her anyhow?

How old is she? Where did you get them? What are you feeding? Do you have a picture of the chicken? Have you thought about treating for possible coccidiosis with Corid? Can you feel of the crop and let us know if it is empty, full, firm, or squishy? I would get the chicken drinking some electrolytes in water and try feeding some mushy chick feed and cooked egg yolk.

They're about 14 weeks? Give or take. Should be getting really close to time to lay. They came from tractor supply. Despite how much she eats her crop stays small and more mushy than anything. They still are on unmedicated chick feed. We've also been giving her Greek yogurt, granola, and manuka honey.i will grab some electrolytes tomorrow, and some corid. It's been a while, what is the dosage again? I'll get you a Pic of her tomorrow. She's starting to definitely look sickly, but she's not accepted it yet lol

So, the poop is so bright that it often stains the bedding bright green. As for her laying there, about a week ago my husband was moving their kennel and her foot got stuck under it. Even after it happened I couldn't find any obvious trauma, but she's been in too much pain to even move around. The poop started about 3 weeks ago, and until thr foot thing, you would have never known she was ill.

These pictures of her poo are exact on color. The others I sent didnt look right in the camera. I saw another post where you had told someone that green poop is because of being emaciated. She has been petite since a small chick. Never emaciated. Always full of energy and so so sassy!

I know this color of poop when runny means death is close. I almost have to wonder if this could be caused by a worm of some sort? Nothing has come out of her, that ive noticed, but she eats so well. Doesn't make sense that she's now losing weight. I feel so sick for her. I want her to pull through.

I’m sorry that she is not well. Green poop usually is from not eating. The bright green sometimes is seen after eating things like blueberries or red cabbage. She looks very weak. Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1 1/2 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5 days. Do not give any vitamins during Corid, so no electrolytes which are usually in combination with those. Can she stand up at all now? Is she eating or drinking now? Has she had access to poultry grit? I would stick with chick feed mostly for her diet and a little egg. You can wet some of those with Corid water. Most pullets do not lay until they are 20 weeks old or more, so she should nit be near laying yet.
