She's actually a 10 month old Delaware with watery (mostly clear) poop with little green crumbs. Been going on for over a week. Lethargic, quiet, not eating much. I have her inside in a cage feeding her regular laying pellets, scratch dusted with diatomaceous earth, and baked squash. Her water is fortified w/electrolytes. Her head is up, but she will sometimes draw it back and she just stands there. She'll perk up when I come around and preen, just not "active".

I've given her olive oil to perhaps clear a stuck crop, and 1-2 cloves minced garlic to handle parasites. I can get some herbs to assist with the parasites, i.e., bramble leaves, hyssop, rue, elder leaves, and wormwood. If she is crop bound, I can try tea from gentian root, milk, and add this to the olive oil.

Any ideas on what I'm doing here?

Herbert
