Green Poop in Chickens - sometimes there's hope
I have been dosing Holly with prescription liver medication twice per day for one week now. I am so happy to say that her poop is no longer vibrant green, she is eating regularly, stopped sleeping endlessly, started talking again and her colour is improving also.I really feel that without the medication that she would have been emaciated or dead by this time. This seems to be the way, either the hen is taking great strides 3 or 4 days in or she has little hope.
I am now cutting it back to once a day and I will continue this for another week.
Holly is still really short on feathers and so will stay inside, on her heat pad and enjoying lots of fresh food. I will put her back with the other hens once her new feathers have really come in - about 3 weeks from now.
Here is Holly this evening. She still has a few weeks to go but I am really pleased with her progress. There is hope for chickens with liver failure issues.
