You guys were right from the start. She had a bacterial infection in her crop. It turns out the bulging was just an egg that she laid that day. I later found her hiding under the nestboxes about a day or two after my last post where...

Oh, and she's stopped puking all together I felt her crop some more and it didn't seem to bother her. Plus, I picked her up and set her down and she didn't even move her beak. Her crop still feels like it's mostly water/liquid though.

UPDATE My hen is moving more but I noticed something new. I felt her around some more and her bum is bulging. I don't know if it's an egg she'll lay soon or if it's food that's plugged up. Any clues? Does this change what you guys...

Well, I'll research squishy crop stuff and I'll say what I think it is after doing a good bit of research. I read the thread you put but I don't think it is  anything impacted or a sour crop but I'll look up more cases of it.

Well I just put everyone up.  She actually went up the coop but I had to put her back in. At least she's moving some! She ate some egg yolk but not all of it and I got a look at her poop. It was watery and had white stuff in it...

UPDATE   She's staying in the coop now and not moving anywhere. She's standing but her tail has been going down all day. I think she may have eaten some egg yolk I gave her but I can't see a difference. Anyone?

 I have this hen that was perfectly normal about three days ago but I noticed she was going slightly slower for two days. She's one of our slightly older hens and I thought it was just "granny walking". But I saw her in the...
