Hi,

4 days ago I noticed one out of 4 chickens I have acting very off, just standing with her eyes closes. Her poop is green and watery and is mucousey, shes feeling lethargic (currently in an isolated box sitting with her head down most the time). Her comb and skin look fine, eyes look clear, she'll eat a little but slowly and not with the usual sense if urgency. She's also doing this thing with her mouth like she's trying to take a deep breath, she's not coughing or shaking her head though. She had an almost clear greenish poop today.

Each day I've noticed they all have been acting a little off like, staying in the coop most the day in their roosting spots. They're now all in their own little area. The original chicken (Henrietta) is worse off then the other 3 who are sister and around 1 ish. They're all having diarrhea, one of them had blood in stool. They're more chipper than henrietta and will stand tall in their box and look around and will peck at their food a little.

The fattest of the 3 sisters is less chipper than the others and is most puffed out, also most likely to peck at you if you try to pick her up.

Sorry so much info...

We are feeding them all ACV and garlic water. Im going to try CORID in their water for Coccidiosis and got some Strike III for worms?


I'm new to having chickens so I'm just Google searching everything. Anything come to mind?
 
Years ago Strike 3 claimed their product treated worms but look at the label now. I remember the ingredients being something like pumpkin seed and other natural stuff. I would ditch the Strike 3 for the worms and use something else. I imagine the chickens would like to have it as a treat so don't throw it away.

Unless things get worser I would use the Corid for a few days to see if they start getting better and if not, then use a dewormer. I don't think I would use ACV and garlic water with the Corid.
