Hello, I have an 18 week old barred rock pullet that appears to be extremely lethargic today, puffed up, falling asleep standing up and has green tinged, oily looking diarrhea. I went to pick her up and she vomited a little, and it appears like she is spitting up any time she tries to preen her belly.
She has not started laying yet, and we did let them roam around the backyard yesterday so I know she ate some grass. I smelled her beak and don't smell anything sour. Her crop is only minimally full but is a little squishy. I thought maybe sour crop but the lack of foul smell has me second guessing it.
She's not really wanting to eat or drink... Ideas? Help??
I'm still relatively new to chickens and I'm not sure where to start..picture of chicken in question and most recent poop..
