One of my hens poop was green!

[IloveChickens3000]

Good morning everyone. For the past few days one of my hens poop is green. Its not from grass either. My hens haven't been able to go outside for 2 full weeks because of the amount of snow there is outside. I never had any hen who's poop was green, when i did then it was from grass. I have 2 hens who haven't seem happy lately. One of them i know laid a shell less egg, and the other one I'm pretty sure had the green poop problem. I'm so scared and upset. Does anybody know what this is and whats the treatment for it. Thank you.

Green poop can be a sign of chicken not eating enough. You may want to offer some moisten chicken feed with water, some scrambled bits of egg or tuna, and see if they will both eat. Shell-less eggs can indicate a reproductive disorder if she is not a brand new layer. Have they been laying recently or molted recently? Do you use a layer feed and offer a container of crushe oyster shell for extra calcium?

Thank you so much for the reply. Yes, they have a feeder and a watered and it’s always filled. Some of them have been molting. My hen that laid a shell less egg is almost one year old. I’ve her that it’s her breed because she is a hybrid and usually hybrid breeds lay she’ll less eggs. I have a bag of oyster shells but I don’t give it to them because for some reason they don’t eat it.

Did you feed them anything purple? Like purple cabbage? It turns poop crazy green.

 

[IloveChickens3000]

No I didn’t feed them anything purple. I did give them wild berries but that was like 4 weeks ago so it can’t be from that.

The oyster shell should be out in a container that they can take as they need it, just like grit. My hens will eat crushed egg shells that I save for them as well. But oyster shell can help to make the egg shells hard if it is from a calckpium deficiency. The shell gland in the oviduct can also be affected by trauma, viruses, and other issues.

Okay I’ll start giving them more calcium. Thank you for the reply.
