Green-->yellow poops in EE, behavior normal. Now subtle lethargy and green poop! Help needed

[BrittanyM1]

Yellow one from my EE

Green one from my brahma just now. Brahma seems more "lethargic" I don't want to say exactly lethargic but she's just chillin on the floor of the coop right now and it's morning she's usually eating.

 

[BrittanyM1]

It's 8:30 here in FL and she's laying on the ground. I KNOW something is up.
Antibiotics? I'm open to em.
Treat for coccoidosis also?

Also her crop is empty

Treating for Coccidiosis with Corid won't hurt.

What did the vet test for in your fecal float - just worms?
What type of food/treats are you feeding?
Have you checked to make sure that both their crops are emptying overnight?
Where is the feather loss coming from on the white chicken - is she only 6months old?

If you can, have the poop re-tested for worms, coccidiosis and have a gram stain to check for bacterial infection.

In the meantime check them both over for any external parasites (lice/mites).

It won't hurt to treat for Coccidiosis. Treatment is with Corid - dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder per gallon or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon.
Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.

See that they are drinking well, provide them with a source of poultry grit (crushed granite) since you feel that you may have some crop issues going on. Once they are drinking offer their normal feed.

Fecal float for just worms.
Unfortunately the vet office is closed today. It'll have to wait until Wednesday ( I work 12 hour shifts mon and tues)
No feather loss on white chicken.
2 year old EE has some feathers missing on back/neck, she was with a roo originally.

Didn't spot any mites on my white girl.
EE however I found maybe three mites, little tiny almost translucent bugs. No experience with mites at all so not sure what I'm looking for.

Grit they always have.

What do you feed?

 

[BrittanyM1]

Home fresh egg layer

 

[BrittanyM1]

Mealworms as treats

 

[Wyorp Rock]

If they only eat layer feed and mealworms as an occasional treat, then crop issue should not be to major of a problem unless they have something else going on that is slowing crop function (worms, coccidiosis, reproductive disorders, infection, etc.).

Since it's been hot and rainy, try the Corid to see if there is any improvement. But when you can, having some more testing performed would be a good idea.


So this is your EE? Feathers on the back look sparse. She's pale
