Possible sick chicken

[Ironchick]

Have one hen in flock of ten. Hatched in June started acting poorly 2 was ago. Have isolated her since, starting reintroduction but she still is puffed up and stool is bright green. She is eating and moving a little. Wondering if it is a genetic type problem or should I coo ok to use isolation? Pics for reference.

Is her crop emptying overnight?

Has she started laying eggs yet?

Not laying yet and I think her crop is emptying overnight. She seems to be losing weight and remains lethargic.

Her crop seems to be emptying, not laying yet. She still isn’t eating as she should and remains very lethargic. Initially I thought it was something contagious so I separated her but now I wonder if it’s not some sort of genetic thing or cancer or something.

Update on my little red hen! She seems better over past two days. Gave her a little olive oil mixed in with moistened feed. She gobbled that up and her stool looks a lot better. She’s back out running around and eating again. I think I’ll give her a little more olive oil tomorrow but hopefully she’s on the mend!

I'm glad she's doing a little better!
Sounds like she may have had a partial blockage if the oil is helping.
Keep me posted on how it goes.
