4 month old loose stool and a little lethargic

[CapeCodCoop]

Hello all. New here. I have a 4 month old having watery stool with some green stuff in it. She also seems a bit lethargic today and kinda puffed up. She is eating. But also drinking a lot of water.

Can you post any pictures of her and her droppings? How does her crop feel? Make sure it empties overnight. Does she have access to poultry grit? Have you thought about treating for possible coccidiosis with Corid? Can you offer some mushy wet chickens feed with a some bits of cooked egg? Are the others bothering her or keeping her from food and water?

Can’t get a picture right now. I’m at work. Today her poop was all clear water with a bit of green stuff in it. This was right after drinking a lot of water. I was going to treat for coccidiosis tonight.

Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days.

Just added some photos.

I would mix some water and chick feed and add a bit of soft cooked egg, and try to get her eating. The dark green dropping looks like she is not getting much food. Treat with Corid if coccidiosis is possible. I would treat.

I started corvid treatment a few days ago. The bird seemed fine for a few days then this morning she just seems tired. Poop back to normal, eating well no discharge. She had a long active day yesterday. Could she just be tired?

I would continue the Corid for 5 days. Then you could give some vitamins and probiotics for a few days. Offer the moistened chicken feed, some dry crumbles, and some scrambled egg bits to build up her energy. Is she with her buddies for company?

Yesterday she ate a lot. But this morning, she hasn’t come out of the coop and it’s 9 AM on the East Coast.
