Yes busy day! I started cleaning the attic yesterday evening. Today Carl and I will finish it. It is so packed up there that we cant fit anything else in it and we cant get to anything thats in it. Which is bad since my christmas stuff is up there.

I forsee that happening to me. I have already stuck stuff up there because I wasn't ready to get rid of it & I know I will never do anything with it.

I am excited about decorating for Christmas this year! I have room to do something.

Dark green means she doesn't have any food in her system, I would continue to give her eggs if that is all she will eat but I really don't know Robin.......I hope someone comes along that can tell you more.

Is the poop liquid or solid?
Does her breath smell sour?
How big is she?
Do you have any injectable antibiotics on hand?
How does her crop feel?

Mornin' Okies.

This rain kept me in bed almost an hour after when I should have gotten up. Guess that means I get to do my workout this afternoon instead of this morning...

So far it's the only one that big. I do get extra large eggs from several of my two year old hens. I set the egg aside to candle later to see if it is two yolks.. has a nice firm shell.
Back in the 70s we used to buy eggs on 7th street in Shawnee before there was a farmer's market. The gentleman had eggs that were huge and most were double yolkers. People flocked to buy his eggs by the 2.5 doz trays.

It's been raining since 3 this morning. Both dogs ended up on the bed.
Up to 1 inch now. We really need this rain.
The pens were flowing with water out of the banks of the little channels dug for each pen.

i am assuming sour crop- poop is watery, i have tylan 50 or penicilin, oral duramycin, corvid and electrolytes, i just massaged her crop, seems mushy

Probably just seems mushy because she hasn't had any solid food. Those are the signs for so many different things, the green in her stool just means she hasn't had much of anything to eat.
The vet said by the time chickens shows signs of sickness they're either going to get better or not on their own in most cases.
Did you take her temp?
Edit: I just isolated another of my Silkies who'd been in the Cochin's pen with the same signs as yours. Although I do know the reason for mine being sick.
You know- e. coli, any number of bacteria, or one of the many strains of coccidia can all cause problems once a chicken catches a bug from something else. Even something innocent like the weather change and getting chilled. It lowers their immunity just long enough for the bacteria or protozoa (that's been there all along lurking in the background) to take hold and cause disease.
