Hen lethargic, loose green/white stool

[Chicky10]

Hi everyone, I am looking for help with my 1.5 year old Australorp hen, she acts differently today, usually she runs around with other hens fighting for treats. Today she stays away from the flock, lethargic, stands or sits still in the shade. Still ate and drank a bit, but definitely much quieter and tired. She still laid an egg today. She had loose stool that looked yellow, green, with white streak in. I have attached a picture of the dropping.

Any ideas if the stool looks normal, and what to do that may help? Started her with Corid this morning, and she drank some.

Have you noticed any feather loss on her or around the coop, which might show that she is starting to molt? Offer her some water with electrolytes or a little sugar, 1 tsp per cupful. Scrambled egg is something my chickens will eat if offered, and watery chicken feed as well. Feel of her crop first thing in morning before she has food or water, to see if it has emptied overnight.

I have not seen any feather loss from her. Do you think the poop looks normal? Is this how a molting chicken would act? She is 1 1/2 years old and has never molted. Thanks for the advice!

Runny green stools can be from not eating enough food. I would encourage her to drink especially, but try some foods that she might be tempted by. Egg, tuna, canned or dry cat food in small amounts are good. Keep a check on how her crops feels, and make sure it is emptying overnight. I would also worm her with SafeGuard or Valbazen if she hasn’t been wormed recently. Reproductive troubles can make them feel bad. If she is starting to molt, they usually lose tail and other feathers, become more aloof, don’t eat as well, and rest more.

Thanks for the advice! I will try that and hope she gets better!
