Today I noticed that one of our hens isn't quiet herself she didn't come belting up the garden when I dished out some rice which is most unusual and now she is stood in the run not looking too well.

She has laid this morning and I saw her have a poo so went to inspect it and it was dark green like duck poo (I think) it wasn't runny but soft and slightly jellified if that makes sense.

I can't see any poo samples like it so I don't really know what’s going on.

Any advice please?

It could be a few things from gut infection, to worms.  Have you flubenveted your chooks recently ?

hi there , with my expereince very recently i would say worm them with flubenvet , always follow the advice from guys on this site u wont go far wrong  .

2 of my girls went very quiet during the week an i was worried stiff but with them now being on the fourth day of the wroming progamme they have both picked up and yes they did have worms .

All our girls were wormed 3 wks ago with Flubenvet. I think your right about it being the gut AS so I have started giving her Tylan ....................and hope she is a little better tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice and I will keep you posted.

I'm pleased to say Ginger is picking up still not 100% but defiantly getting better.

i am glad your girl is getting better, one of mine got better after being wormed an the other one is on the road to recovery from what ever was wrong with her .
