Hello, I'm new to chicken keeping. I've had a lot of help from BYC. I wanted to say hello to all you seasoned chicken folks. I do have an issue with one of my hens. She's a little over a year old "partridge rock", I've got 4 of them and it's hard to tell them apart. The other day they got into a separate part of the coop that's insulated with white styrofaom boards and ate alot of it. The chickens learned this from my turkeys, who are coocoo for it... Anyways, I found her yesterday in the coop by herself and just sitting on the ground. She was WAY to easy to catch, and her vent was caked with green stuff. She's been having bright green liquid poop. I searched BYC, and concluded it's a gut imbalance. I've got her inside now in a crate and I'm giving her an organic yogurt, and a mixture probiotics and electrolytes. I also have given her one drop of neomycin. She's eaten a little and was drinking this morning. I've also given her a bath, which she seemed to enjoy. I'm not sure how long this intestinal imbalance will last or if there is anything else I can do. So, if anyone has some info for me, me and my little lady would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Kim
