Butters the Lutino hen from my avatar is looking ill today, she's very fluffed up, her wings are drooped and her bottom is looking a bit dirty (looks like greenish watery diarrhea). Any ideas on what to do until I can find an avian vet in my area? Keep her warm......... anything else?

Keep her warm and isolated.

watery green poo often suggests not eating, so you need the vet to diagnose why she is not eating.

How is her weight.

 

Finding an avian vet is hard, but some vets have experience with birds... its not idea, but better than nothing.

Well you'd just think I was the most horrible person Butters had ever met, I caught her to check her weight and the way she was squalking anyone would've thought I spend my days plucking her feathers out one by one.

 

On the up side she's bitting as hard as ever. Her weight is unchanged (at least from what I can tell), her crop is full and her face stained with carrots so I think she's eating fine.

 

But she's still not herself and this is her bottom, note the watery greenish poo stains.

 

I haven't changed her diet since I brought her..... Although I did start her cage drinking out of a bottle and added Calcivet and Aviclens to the water, I don't think this should have had a detrimental effect though?

 

If I can't find an avian vet I'll call my vet and see who she reccomends.
