I'm no expert but it sounds to me like she's possibly molting at the same time as being either Broody or Egg Bound.  A warm bath can't hurt.  My hens that have gone broody have done huge poops, too because they aren't getting...

Hi Mitch4u,   I'm wondering, does she puff her feathers out a lot?  When one of my hens go broody, they tend to fluff out their feathers quite a bit and get cranky and won't leave the nesting box.  The green bile...

Yes, I've posted on here several times to others about how to treat wry neck.  It seems to be a vitamin deficiency.  Do a search in this forum for vitamin deficiency or wry neck and you should find a lot of info on how to...
