Lucky is only around 8-9 months. He is eating like a horse and drinking fine. He did kinda move around a bit this morning but I'm talking 6 inches from where he was at. His poo is green, is this normal or an indicator of something? Thanks

I'm working on it with Lucky and will keep you posted.

Green poo means that he is starving. It can indicate worms or other serious diseases that does not allow the chicken to get nourishment from their food. Marek's, is one of them. I would try deworming him or, taking a fecal sample in for analysis, and getting some much needed food into him. I use crumble mixed with water and yogurt. They seem to love it. You need to get food into him ahead of all else.

His appetite still remains very good. I did feed him rice with yogurt and feed crumbles today, I keep crumbles and water close to him,he does eat at will. My wife purchased the baby vitamins you had mentioned but got it with iron so I guess I will return it. Thanks again for your help.

If he is eating well and still pooping green, there is something wrong...more than vitamins. Worms or a more serious illness. You need to find out if he has worms or, not.

You are welcome. Please keep us updated.
