I have a very small flock, 4 chickens and 3 ducks. Thursday a week ago one of my hens began to put herself in time out at the corner of my house. She just stood as if in a trance. She easily allowed me to pick her up, which was unusual. Thus, my internet search started. She was not egg bound, no mites, her comb was still mostly bright red.
I saw that she had pretty much all the symptoms of coccidiosis so began treatment for her and the flock with Corid. She has been isolated and no other bird shows symptoms. Bless her heart she is still hanging in there, but not really eating. I offered her mealworms, their special treat, and she tried but did not eat them.
I have noticed that her poop went from foamy yellow to dark green, but not diarrhea. This was yesterday's development. I don't want her to suffer and waste away, but she just isn't eating. Suggestions? Anything would be helpful at this point.
