Yellow/green poop lethargic 4 year old hen

Thank you for the link to Enrofloxacin and Baytril should I use both of these products? I have not de wormed my flock, would adding apple cider vinegar to their water be sufficient?

I did not check her crop this morning will check it now and again tomorrow morning.

Enrofloacin is I believe the generic version of Baytril so the same drug but sometimes one is less expensive.

I don't think ACV would be helpful. I use Valbazen. It's very easy. I dose given directly to each chicken and another 10 days later. I use a little piece of bread to soak up the Valbazen and my birds will eat their piece right out of my hand. It must not have a bad taste to it.

Thank you! where do you recommend getting Valbazen?

I buy it at my local feed store. Or you can find it online.

Here is a picture of her poop, I have given her wet soupy feed and she is eating it, I am also giving her sugar water and going to the store now to get Calcium Citrate+D3 tablet and electrolytes. She has not laid an egg for a couple of weeks but its been a stressful period we have had really loud construction near our house and I've had to move my hens into a new coop. Thank you so much for your reply. I am not sure if she is emptying her crop, based on her poop do you think it has to do with her crop?

how is the best way to give her the calcium citrate+D3 tablet, crush and put in water?

Thank you for the photos that were requested.

I would start giving her 1 Calcium Citrate+D3 tablet once daily for 3-5 days. Pull down on her wattles, pop the Calcium tablet right into the beak and let her swallow.

Be sure that her crop is emptying.

Giving an antibiotic may be helpful. Baytril is one of the strongest and you'd want to throw out eggs for at least 14days after last dosage. If you unable to find Baytril, then Amoxicillin would work. Same withdrawal period.

She may be having some reproductive problems, hard to know. Stress can affect them, but likely this has been going on for a little while.

See that her crop is emptying and if possible, get a fecal float to see if worms are part of the problem too. If not, then deworming is a good idea.

Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole) can be used to deworm your hen. You can order both online or you may be able to find them in certain feed stores.


To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days

Here's how to give oral medications:

I checked my hen this morning and she has a hard crop, what would you recommend, would the calcium help?

I checked my hen this morning and she has a hard crop, what would you recommend, would the calcium help?

If you checked before she ate or drank and it was hard, address that symptom according to the article below.

Do keep in mind that often a crop that is not emptying/slow/sour, etc. is a symptom of an underlying condition.

For three days I have been giving my hen .5 ml CORID per day by syringe and 1 flavored Poultry Dewormer 5x capsule (each capsule contains 6.7 mg fenbendazole) diluted in water by syringe per day . my hen is feeling better should I continue the dosage of one or both of these treatments for a couple of more days?

Hello, I have ordered Enrofloxacin from Jedds, I have also been giving my hen for the past three days .5ml of CORID by syringe and 1 capsule of 6.7 mg of Fenbendazole diluted in water by syringe. My hen is feeling better should I continue to administer one or both the CORID and Fenbendzole for a few more days?

Glad she's feeling better, it's a good idea to complete your course of treatment until finished.

How many days would you recommend that I treat her with the CORID and Fenbendzole ?
