sick chick

[pertilote]

My year old hen has stopped eating, laying eggs, has green watery diarrhea, and is lethargic. I've given her olive oil, Epsom salt, a little bit of plain yogurt (not all at the same time). This has been going on for 5 days. Any advice will be helpful.
Thank you!!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I am so sorry about your hen. Has she been wormed recently? I think you need to post this in our emergency section for more help. Kelsie has left you with the link. I hope you can get her healed up soon.

Sorry to hear that, hope she gets better soon!

I have not wormed, didn't know worms were an issue. Are her symptoms consistent with worms?

If you post on the emergencies thread, please do so in as much detail as you can remember. How long has she been acting like this? Has there been any changes in what you feed her? Are any other of your birds acting the same way.

I hope someone will be able to diagnose her and suggest proper treatment.

She's been "ill" for about 5 days. Nothing in her diet was changed. The other 2 hens are fine-eating, drinking, laying eggs.
