Need diagnostic of sick chicken

[diamonk]

Help - Mrs Cluck is sick. She is an americauna (really, an easter egger) who is 2-3 years old. She has been with us for last 2 years with no problems. Two days ago we noticed she was really lathargic and isolated her from the other hens. We gave her water with some electrolytes and that perked her up considerably. We continue to give her this water/electolytes with a dropper - i don't think she is drinking on her own at all. Other symptoms:
- not eating
- diarreah (greenish - really watery)
- cannot seem to balance - not walking

She looks fine, you would not know from just looking at her feathers, eyes. She does not have any masses that i can feel.

Any ideas? We are going on day 3 of no food.

Thanks fellow friends of chickens!

Hmm, maybe internal worms? Have you checked for mites?

Thank you - i was not aware they could cause these kind of symptoms but i just went out and dusted her. Hopefully we will see an improvement. Worth a try for sure! Thanks a bunch.

I had something like that happen last year and my hen was egg bound. Be sure to check there too. Good luck.
