Pale Chicken

[H Fletcher]

Her name's Happy, and she's been extremely pale the past few days. She's young, maybe 2, and isn't acting lethargic, but isn't as enthusiastic about being a chicken and free roaming right now. Late at night, as Happy was getting ready to sleep, she almost turned white. Her poops are kinda green, sometimes watery. It isn't right...

First picture is normal Happy, second is from yesterday. Any ideas what could cause this and some home remedies I can give her are so appreciated.

What breed is she? Has she laid any lash eggs? Is there any yellow discharge in her poop. You should take as many pictures of her poop as you can, and keep posting them. Is she eating? What does she eat? Is her stomach bloated below her vent? Can we see some clear pictures of her eyes? Any respiratory issues?

I'm not sure if her breed, looks like a Wyandotte Chicken. I also haven't seen her in the nesting box lately, but there's been a few weak eggs, not quite soft shell.
Today Happy's a lot more lethargic. Tried to feed her some yogurt and eggs, but she wasn't as interested until other chickens ate with her. She's been just laying there, and when they free range, Happy's just picking, not quite eating.
Don't have photos of her poop, but right now, it's either runny, almost like egg whites, or firmer and green. I can't tell of any respiratory issues, but I'd assume a pale comb is a sign of lacking oxygen.

I've been checking her abdomen. Seems normal, just a little skinnier than usual, and she doesn't seem to have mites. I was reading that this could be E coli, and she did eat one of our eggs about a week ago.

I'm going to see if some of the BYC experts can chime in on this.

Please keep the poop pics coming. The E.coli bacteria, from what I've read, is the villain that causes salpingitis. Also, in most of the cases of salpingitis, you will see a yellowish discharge either dripping out of her vent or mixed in her poop. Most of the cases I've read about have an initial discharge of lash egg or lash egg material. Also, most of the breeds that are affected by salpingitis are hybrids, high volume layer breeds. One of the three above experts will probably have some more suggestions, but please keep us informed of her condition, and keep posting pics of her vent area and her poop.
