Chicken w/ green poop, shell-less egg | BackYard Chickens

Disclaimer: It has been hot and very dry in my area for a week or so, but my hens were al fine. Now it is cooling down. Her behavior is completely fine and she eats and drinks. She is currently being dewormed on day 3 with Safeguard. I have a vet appointment scheduled sometime in the next week.

My 3.5 year old Easter Egger used to have large, healthy brown poops! Then I fed her flax seed as a treat for two days and ever since her poop has been greenish. It ranged from brown with a green tinge to light brown/green. She still poops frequently but the poops are smaller and softer/a bit more wet, although there is no mucus, blood, or worms visable. It has been 1.5 weeks and her poop is still green. Urates are still visable. She has not eaten green vegetables in a week. Usually they would but i am trying to settle her digestion.

Normally, this would not concern me, because it’s hot and maybe she had an upset stomach from the flax. But it has been way too long and it hasn’t gotten better. THEN, she laid a shell-less egg overnight!! She has always been a wonderful calcium eater and had hard shelled eggs previously and persistantly. Her laying schedule recently went like this:

Day 1: Normal egg
Day 2: nothing
Day 3: soft egg
Day 4: nothing
Day 5: nothing

Her stomach is not flat. There is what seems to be a fat pad under her belly that is not hard nor squishy. I believe its just fat, since this chicken is on the medium side and is a good eater. She has no trouble getting around and she jumps around and everything.

I am worried because my other hen, Clementine has ovarian cancer and I noticed she also had greenish poop similar to this Easter Egger. And I know that because she is a hybrid breed, it is very likely she will get a reproductive issue sometime or another. She has laid many, many eggs in 2 years and I want to prevent anything.

Her poop ranges Looks like this pic from the internet. Remember, they don’t eat grass, they are not free-range but have lots of roaming room.
