RIR Acting Lethargic - Please help

[Starburst]

@azygous, I was wondering if the green poop is a symptom of her being egg bound, or something else, like parasites or avian flu?

Green poop generally means a chicken isn't eating . The green stuff is bile. It indicates the liver doesn't have anything else to metabolize.

How is out patient? Any change?

Okay, thank you so much for clarifying!
She is doing pretty good, I haven't seen too much change in her since this morning. I haven't been seeing her eyes closed as much...she has been panting non-stop all day, however, which I find kind of concerning. I'm trying to give her as much water as possible, I might take another shot with using a syringe. Last night I got a scare when I tried giving her water through the syringe because she started struggling to breathe, but concerned she isn't getting enough water otherwise.
Thank you so much!

Here’s a picture:

Panting often means the chicken is very stressed. Do you have any Gatoraid on hand? I would try giving her electrolytes just a couple ounces. It might help relieve some stress she's experiencing that may have to do with her chemistry being out of kilter.

That makes so much sense! I don't have any Gatoraid, but I do have a thing called "Save A Chick Electrolytes" right now...I think they're meant for chicks, but do you think it may work until I get some Gatoraid? I also have Nuun tablets, something you dissolve in the water that also has electrolytes.

Any electrolytes will work. I usually mention Gatoraid because it's so easy and chickens like it. When I work outside and it's hot, I drink Gatoraid and my chickens all mob me for their taste. I pour it in the lid and they take turns sipping it. Even the roosters crowd in for their sip.

Alright, that makes sense! Thank you so much!

Alright, I'm going to give her the electrolytes - @azygous, I did notice that her tail was pointing downward very much...guessing that has to do with the egg, but thought I'd double check. Also, a report on her crop, it feels a little more full, but still very squishy and soft.

 

[azygous]

Yes, tail held low and flat is typical for a reproductive issue. It signals she may be experiencing pain. Recall my woman in labor analogy. Why don't you try giving her an extra calcium tablet tonight? It can't hurt, and maybe it will juice her contractions.

Also, be sure to check her crop in the morning before you give her water or food. If it's as full or fuller than it is now, she may need some anti-yeast treatment to keep that from getting out of hand.
