Large crop green smelly poop up

[DianeB]

Thank you
Right now the vet and the local poultry hotline, say that it's very unlikely she has vNC. But, of course, being the overly cautious person I am, it still something on my mind.

I can understand that very well...I am inside the quarantine area for SoCal, just north of the southern border of it. I ordered chicks in Jan and had to cancel my order cause they changed QZ border to include my area at the end of Feb.

That sucks... I'm sorry
I live in NorCal...there was a case in Redwood City. It's some 70+ miles away. Do you still have your flock? I remember the whole bird flu thing when no one could get chicks for a couple of years.

My hope is either she has an infection or parasite from the rain
The hens I lost over the years have all been from tumors never communicable disease.

These guys are very isolated.

Does anyone know if a bacterial infection can cause green poop? Will the antibiotics work?

Yes still have them and all seem to be healthy with the exception of a few mites but we are taking care of that problem. Although I had to give up new breeder stock, I still have my roo and some healthy girls and a incubator so I can turn over and retire some of my older girls

A bacterial infection sure can cause green poop. Whether or not the antibiotics work depends on what bacteria it is and what antibiotics you use.

It's the strong general antibiotic. So, hopefully it works, if there is an infection
Would an infection affect her crop, too?

Which one? Baytril?

Birds with intestinal bacterial infections almost always have slow crops, so yes, it could.
