Phantom is normaly a spunky boy, but this morning he didn't want to come out from his house and stayed on his perch. He is a little stuffy sounding too. Plus; he made a green-yellow mucusy poop. I'm not sure what's going on, do you guys have any ideas?

Welcome to BYC. He could be showing signs of dehydration, and being stuffy, may have a respiratory illness. Can you try to get him drinking some water? If you have Poultry NutriDrench or electrolytes, those would be good to use. Loose bright green poop with mucus may be a sign that he has not been eating and drinking. I would think about placing him in a wire dog crate with food and water, and get him warm. That way you can onserve him more closely. Has he been wormed lately? How is the air criculation in your coop? Do you see any bubbles in an eye or nasal drainage?
 
We put him in a dog crate and he hasn't eaten or drank. We put some CORID in his water. He also is extremely alert and scared of sudden noises.
 
Sometimes they will take chicken feed in a small bowl with a lot of water added to make it runny and soft. Water is most important for him, so that he doesn’t get dehydrated. If you have a vet who would see him, that might be helpful. They can give him fluids by feeding tube or under his skin. They could also check his poop for coccidiosis and worms if you collect some in a plastic freezer bag.
