Worming Chickens...HELP!!!

[mipsy6]

I have finished my 3-day worming (fenbendazole) for my sick chicken. Tough to say if it worked. I'll guess I'll have to wait and see.

Her poops have changed, but I wouldn't call them perfectly normal. They are firm now with a white cap, when they were previously watery, but now the poops are very green. Like grass-green.

Does anyone know what might be causing that?

If she continues pooping green, should I be worried and treat for something else like cocci?

How soon after worming would it be safe to treat for cocci with Sulmet?

She's so thin, so I want to help her get better asap so she can put some weight back on.

Mipsy::

sometimes green in the droppings is from undiluted bile from lack of eating enough.
what do you feed your chickens?

have you checked her crop?
feel the crop for any lumps..
after eating it should feel full, in the morning before they eat, it should feel empty or flat.

also..check her mouth and throat for any whitish or yellowy sores...

does she have any other symptoms?

you can give her a boost with extra protein..you can give chick feed as poster suggested, or grower feed..
egg, canned cat food..
yogurt will help get her system back in "sync" after any medication..

before trying to feed..
check the crop and mouth..
