This cannot be normal 😢 green poop

[Shadrach]

Hi thanks for replying.
Restarted worming regime this morning. I have read about the grape method for 1% flubenvet

checked crop last night & it was full & empty this morning, she is drinking lots today but hardly eating - couple of mouthfuls of medicated mash.

her face is very pale & tail is still up but not walking about like usual. I am actually considering she is an internal layer tbh. All others are absolutely thriving and laying except for this one girl who has had a multitude of problems

Is she moulting? This can often put hens off their food.
You're a bit limited without a vet examination, assuminng the vet is competent in chicken health.
Tube feeding is an option if you are worried about her weight and your confident thecrop and gizzard are working.
I would definitely start with worming making sure she gets the proper dose for her weight. I would consider a double dose for her weight. Quite often a problems with drugs is if an insufficient does is given the bug gets resistant. Better a bit more than not enough.

Chickens can produce some really ugly poop, don't they? I don't usually get concerned unless I see blood or if it's yellow or bright green in color.

They do and they stink but I am an avid poop checker, even a little obsessed tbh! I just love her and really worried. I'm gonna ring the vet x

She did have a juvenile moult which seemed to hit her hard and she then had hard skin deposits which grew around the base of her feathers. These were treated with an anti fungal cream & coconut oil to soften. Her face also became dry but soon was sorted. She was treated with mite powder & the while coop cleaned with bedding replaced & every nook and cranny was powdered.
Next she began to furiously shake her head, worming ensued & crop checked - full at night/empty by morning.
she went weak preworming & had some vent discharge & perked up to her normal self following the 7day worming but still shakes her head.

Yesterday I did notice her stop & squat but nothing came out & today her tail was bobbing this morning when stood about.

Two days ago she was full of life & today back downhill, she will stand around sleeping then rejoin her friends & then sleep. I will try and hand feed her grape dipped in wormer and see if it helps.


My vet for my other pets, doesn't do chickens unfortunately, I've asked. I will ring around today.

Thank you x
