Potentially sick bird - poop photos

[Grey Gables]

Hi, my almost 7 month old Columbian Wyandotte has seemed a little off the last few days. She still will explore and wander around some but takes breaks and will lay down to rest, which isn’t normal. The last two days she stands still quite a bit. I’ve seen her eat and drink some, but not sure if she’s eating and drinking like normal - hard to say. Her poop has definitely changed. It’s more watery and often a yellow green color.

Got a little nervous for my other birds so I brought my pullet into our sunroom so I could monitor her more closely while working and potentially start to quarantine her.

She definitely seems more lethargic than normal. Her poop is more green today but still not looking normal. Feathers on head are a tad ruffled but only just slightly.

I do have access to a chicken vet but was hoping to get some ideas before going that route. Any thoughts?

She just recently started keeping her beak open. This is new. It’s not constant but I’ve seen her do it a few times already.

I would try a coccidiosis treatment. Is she eating and drinking?

I just added some Corid to her water today. She has seemed less interested in food and water today but previously I had seen her eat and drink. Wondering if I should try using a dropper just to make sure she is getting some water in her?

It can’t hurt.

I agree about the coccidiosis. Reminds me of how my hen was acting before she passed. She had more issues than cocci but I caught that once I isolated her and in hindsight i should have caught sooner.

Don't forget not to do vitamins when you're doing the Corid.

Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your hen.

I've given my pullet a few syringes of water since she seems uninterested in drinking. She hasn't eaten any of her normal pellets today so I tried giving her a little scrambled egg and she ate that up. She's mostly resting/sleeping at this point. This is the part I hate -- waiting, hoping what I'm doing is working. I never know when to elevate it to "vet level."

She hasn't pooped since earlier this morning. I know she hasn't eaten a ton but she has had some egg. Not sure if that's weird or not. I'm used to chickens being poop machines, so it stuck out to me that she hasn't pooped in awhile.
