Tira is NOT doing well!!! HELP!!! She can't hold head up and won't eat or drink. She is just pooping out green stuff and not even moving. When I pick her up to clean her bum she just lays on her side and can't even move. How could she have bounced back yesterday and be doing so poorly today?? Did I do something to harm her!! What can I do!!! Please Anyone!!!!

I don't know if this will be helpful - I'm just typing what Storey/Damerow writes in Chicken health Handbook.
In maturing pullets, greenish, watery pasty diarrhea could be Bluecomb. Could also be cholera (acute). In mature birds, watery, greenish blood stained poo & diarrhea could be exotic Newcastles. Green droppings could be pullorum. All are rare. In any birds, greenish yellow diarrhea could be chlamydiosis (which I think is contagious to humans), but rare. Green diarrhea could also be influenza, which is also rare.

Is there some place you can have a fecal analysis done and quickly?

Some of these diseases must be reported. If the feed store and whomever they got the girls from is harboring diseases, they should be informed too.

Good luck and thinking of them & you

Does she have any worms in her stool? If she had a massive infestation, it could be a real shock to her system as they die off.

cappillaria worms will damage the intestines and produce blood in the droppings

Any update this morning? I thought about your poor chicken first thing this morning when I woke up.

Hope she is still hanging in there!

So sorry to read about her troubles and decline - hoping this improves. Running off to work and couldn't read all the posts - sorry - is there any possibility of an avian vet? What you described in your last post sounds extremely worrisome/critical. I really feel for you and thank you for your efforts - praying this all turns around. JJ

Green can also mean that the food is going through her system too fast for it to be digested...

You really need to force her to eat.

Hello, I just tuned in to this, i hope she comes good, im sorry you have to go through this heartache too.
Theres nothing more taxing on the soul than watching an animal ailing and not knowing how to help them.
I hope you have good news and that she perks up soon.
You may just need to let her get over all the meds and let them go through her system, but keep up the water and feed.
My prayers are with you all!
Hugs

I sure hope she pulls through. If she's doing that badly today, then you know if your daughter hadn't rescued her, she'd have died during the cold night in a cage alone. You did good and I commend you and your daughter for caring for that poor hen. At least she probably feels safe and warm.
