what is wrong with Blackie????

[peepsandquackes]

My silkie has been sitting like this (lethargic like) for 2 days. Not egg bound. Has poop on back end. Any helps???

How do you know she is not egg bound? Have you checked? To make an accurate diagnosis, I need more information: how old is Blackie, what is she fed, does she eat/drink normally, any discharge from eyes/nostrils, what is her crop like, etc.? If younger than 6 months, Coccidiosis is a possibility. If older, then could be egg bound, be internally laying, or have worms. At any age she could have impacted crop or a respiratory disease.

Blackie is 2. She eats layer pellet. Yes has been eating and drinking fine until Sunday. Yes I've checked for egg bound and her crop feels fine to me. No discharge in eyes or nose. Green poop that was stuck to her...like stickyish.... she has eaten some yogurt, honey water, and boiled egg with a dropper. Has moved around. I had a chick this spring that was this way and I revived it with boiled egg, grits and milk by dropper. This chick had a very weird crop where it was far to the side and stayed full a long time. She is now fine.

I'd check her for worms. If that's not the case, the next thing I'd do is contact a vet and see if you could get some albon for it. I'd also bring her in the house with added warmth. Feed her a hi pro regimin along with nutri drench, fresh garlic in her mash, acv in her water. Make sure she is eating and drinking. The green poo on her butt fluff is worrysome in that depending on the color is could denote liver issues. In that case, milk thistle could help with that. The albon is an antibiotic that is excellent for the digestive system. Yes, it's also a cocci med.
