Update-jaundiced comb, pecking at her own toenails, lethargic, IDEAS?

The link sent to you by GraceAK shows a chicken with the same symptoms. Your chicken and that chicken are both on organic feed. Too much of a coincidence if you ask me. The green poop means she is starving to death. At least try another food. Grower crumbles or pellets have more nutrition.

Thanks, Purpletree. She actually was eating grower when she came down ill. On the advice of many, I switched to a new bag of food (in case of mildew) which is layer. All the girls had been eating the last of this year's pullets grower food.

I have a hen right now that also has a pale orange, jaundiced comb, wattles, and legs. She does not peck at herself or her feet. She is eating very little and seems lethargic. Do you have any more answers? I've been giving poultry conditioner (added protein) to their feed now and then. No changes.

My chicken has the same symptoms. The vet is confident that it is ovarian cancer. She said its pretty common. I read that flax seeds help slow its progress.
