Forgot to give an update.
Chicken patient is still about the same, although this evening she seemed to have eaten much more food than she has lately. Poops are still green with white or are just runny brown. Last night it seemed she did an almost normal looking poop, at least in consistency, though it was still greenish tinge.
She seems peppy and alert, but still is not movign around like a normal chicken.
She did seem to want out of her cage by being more "talkative", sounding what I call her 'annoyed' call over and over again. (The "BAaaawwk baaawwk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk" sound- sounds almost like an annoyed laughing gull.)
I think the antibiotics are helping.
If it were botulism, would antibiotics help? I worry about that now because my chickens love our compost pile... Just learning lately that isn't a good idea for chickens and will have to promptly put up a fence around it.
