Sick chicken!! Please help.

Hello all looking for help!

This little 8 week old pullet was fine last night came out this morning and she was standing with puffed up feathers acting pretty lethargic. With green watery Diarrhea.

Went to feel her crop it was very full and watery and I accidentally expelled some clear fluid. (Water?) no sour smell at all.

Currently she’s separated in a dog crate indoors in a dimly lit closet (light on for pictures). Given water with probiotics and ACV scrambled eggs with olive oil.

Not interested in food and was standing out in the run all alone puffed up with her head tucked.

Location: Ohio
These birds are vaccinated for Mereks and came from NPIP flocks.

Any tips? Please help this little lady.

Green watery diarrhea is from not eating. She could have a crop blockage.

Anything else I can do for her? She’s very content to have her crop massaged. She’s still drinking but not very interested in food.

I'm not sure how it should be handled, let me check.

Update pullet has since passed, only wanting to make sure the rest of my flock is okay. Everyone else is acting fine at this point.

Sorry about your pullet. I lost one many years ago in a similar way. Best guess is that she had some sort of obstruction in her digestive tract. If you wanted to be sure and are up for it you could do a basic necropsy and look for the blockage. But in any case I don't think your other birds are at risk, though I would ensure that they have crushed granite or some other kind of grit available to them.

Maybe?

I hate to say it, but it COULD be the vaccine...

Also, try Ivermectin in her water.
