Green poop on butt feathers and laying around!

[6PeckinChickens]

Henrietta is not as active as usual. She is laying around. She’s been eating and drinking, and she just ate some yoghurt. I’m getting ready to clean her up. What do you all think is causing this? The only answer I can find is stress from a July 8, 2017 post

My coccidia infested hen pooped just like that! Can you get a sample in to your vet for a fecal float?

I can call my vet tomorrow. What do they prescribe to fix it?

Also, should I take a fecal sample and save it when I clean her up?

You can usually start with Corid, a vet might give you Sulfa powder too which would work. You can buy Corid at TSC.
Vets prefer the fecal sample to be as fresh as possible, so personally I would not save any feces from cleaning her up now.

Can this spread to the other 5 girls?

Yes if they've had access to her poop (like if she has pooped in their water or they peck at her poop on the floor)

That they haven’t pecked it off the floor/grass! Thank you so much for your help and info! I appreciate you!!

I'm glad!! It's no problem. When I had an outbreak, not every member of the flock had it. So I just suggest keep a watchful eye on your other flock members to make sure nobody begins acting weird
Symptoms can include droopiness, lethargy, skinny, diarrhea, bloody stool, and some other things. I'll be 100% honest, most my birds acted pretty much normal while they had it.

Just wanted to give you an update! I didn't realize that there is only on Avian Vet in our area!! The doctor is out of the office today, but they squoze Henrietta in tomorrow at 1600. The fecal sample needs to be no more than 12 hours old so I asked them to loop her. I hope that she's okay to wait till tomorrow! I'm worried about her!
