[QUOTE="Star*, post: 347321, member: 4964"] I found her - chicken expert - maybe an email? Firstly.. I need to know all the medication names and dosage and how you administered them please First vet and second vets instructions to you Worms.... isn't green droppings.. it is yellow or foamy yellow droppings... green is something totally different Foaming eyes.. indicated that the problem was probably a mycoplasma infection along with something else I need you to tell me everything you give them to eat..everything If your feeding cut grass .. stop.. causes crop problems Green droppings could be one of a hundred things.. but most likely due to not being able to get to food .. so starvation was the main problem.. and the green was undiluted bile What has your weather been like.. some infections take off with certain weather conditions How old was the bird that died How old is the other sick bird What are the droppings like of the sick bird Will wait for your replies to my questions before I go further Hang in there Wondered if anyone can help me. I had 3 healthy chickens back in March. Suddenly one began to fall over a lot and couldn't walk straight or for very long without lying down for an hour. Took her to vet who wasn't sure what it was but prescribed antibiotics and worming medicine. 2 weeks later she died. 2 weeks after this another chicken started same symptoms, went downhill quickly and I found her hidden in garden with diarrhoea and her eyes covered in foam. Found an avian expert practice and took her in. They did swabs of her poo and her eyes and prescribed different medicines. A week later she was still alive but I had been nursing her constantly and could see no improvement so my local friendly farmer came and 'dealt' with her for me. Now left with 1 chicken she went broody so I got 2 fertile eggs from a friend and hatched out 1 chick 12 weeks ago. All seemed well. Last week this chick became sluggish and had green diarrhoea. I got some ivermectin from vet and treated it. No change and this morning when I threw out some food it fell over as it ran and then just lay there asleep. What is going wrong? No answers from vet. Has anyone else had this problem? Don't want to get rid of this one but don't want it to suffer. Any help would be great.
