Thank you! I have learned a lot as well, and I wish I had known this when my past chicken was sick like this. I hope yours gets better! I wonder what this is that’s going around? Is it like a virus or something in the food? Whatever it is, I hope we can get rid of it for good!

So I had that she wasn’t pooping at all today since I didn’t see any green, but then I saw her poop a normal dropping! Her swelling seems to have gone down some, but she still has a little yellow poking out of her vent. But she is perching with everyone else now and wanting out of the coop. She...

Ok, thank you! Should I still be trying to give her the Tums?

I don’t know, she already went over 24 hours without eating and just started eating again yesterday. I wonder if not free ranging has something to with whatever this problem is? Because we use to free range, but we stopped since too many predators were killing them. But during that at least four...

I discovered she was sick on Saturday, but my mom says she hadn’t been laying for about three days before. We feed them Producers Pride Mini Layer pellets. Do you free range your chickens? We don’t anymore, but when we did we never had this problem. We also had gotten a different food though

No, I don’t think that particular dropping had yellow in it. But I think that two others did, but I could find them when I had my phone with me

Yes it does! Mine is also around a year old too!

I haven’t gotten to felt it in a little while since we had company over, but it had felt squishy

Could the rat possibly have anything to do with her sickness? It was in their food and water bins

Ok, I was able to get a picture of a dropping, but the yolk was gone. Either one of them ate it or a rat that we discovered in the coop today did

Ok, thank you! Sorry, I always forget my phone when I go see her, and I had to hop in the car to leave, so I didn’t get to take a picture. I will try when I get back home

She might be taking a turn! She is walking more, taking a dirt bath, and eating and drinking! There is also some more green poop, which I’m guessing is a good sign? I also just saw some yellow that looks like an egg yolk on the floor. There’s also some yellow in and around her vent. Her comb is...

Ok, thank you. She still doesn’t want me looking at her vent, but I will try again. Unless her poop simply is green or weird looking anymore , she hasn’t gone today and yesterda

No, I was not. Is there any way to prevent this from happening again? Or is it possible whatever it is will spread to the rest of the flock?
