My poorly chook has improved quite a lot but she's still not back to normal. Thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas on what else I could do.
Background is: - she's had very, very watery poo, very lethargic, loosing weight. So visit to vet, gave anti-biotics & analised the poo (what we could get) & no 'bugs'. Vet couldn't come up with anything obvious & ruled out all the major things.
She's been on the tablets for 10 days now, we've had to give her tempting food & she eats & drinks when given the chance, also has a good scratch around when I let her out on her own, so behaves normally, just does everything at a slow pace. She's the top bird & has got some of her mo-jo back, but nothing like as bossy as she usually is. But she still has the runny poo & can't be tempted to eat layers mash pr pellets.
The one symptom that seems odd is her crop seems to take a long time to empty.If its very full at night, its not empty by morning, but gradually goes down by the next evening, & that day she eats very little (of course) Also her runny poo is now greenish colour.
She's about 1 year old & doesn't lay (vet says her egg laying equipment is 'thinking' about it
)
Anyone have experience of this,any ideas gratefully received.
thanks.
