I have a chicken can't stand on its feet for three days and it has a green stool on its back .
What kind of treatment i would give to it?​

Botulism is a common poultry disease, treatable via antibiotics, and that is what this looks like to me.

If it's not botulism, it still looks like she's been poisoned. Marek's is, as always, a possible cause, but it generally happens younger, or with hens who've already had it, and I don't think it's likely.

I would take her to a veterinarian and see if they'll treat. You can, of course, try to treat poisoning at home (there's a process called "flushing" which involves, basically, rinsing out her crop, but it's not easy to do, by all accounts.) The procedure is probably on the web somewhere.

Try 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 pint water, 1 tbsp. sugar (or corn syrup, or molasses) as an electrolyte mix and give her some vitamins (nutri-drench, if you have any) If you don't have that, see if you can find some selenium in tablet form and give her a tiny amount.

@Eggcessive seems to know his/her stuff. May be able to confirm or offer treatment options if botulism isn't the case.

To restate the stated (sorry if that bothers you) It could be Marek's or botchalism, I recomend getting help ASAP!!

At this point, I'm randomly going through threads about poisoning and disease, looking for knowledgeable people. @casportpony ?

@Wyorp Rock ?

Also, apparently you should use penicillin, not other antibiotics, if it is botulism.

Looks a lot like Marek's.
