1 year old Plymouth Rock. Appeared to maybe have an impacted crop 5 days ago so isolated, gave her olive oil and massaged and it appears to have gone away.
Still, the chicken appears listless, stands basically still and will rest her eyes significantly.
Comb appears whiter than her sisters and she's definitely lighter.
I have confirmed that she is pooping, though I'm not sure how much.
She doesn't seem to be eating much food-even cat food which they seem to adore (see pic).
Her keel (?) bone seems to be extending through the stomach area, which is very concerning to me.
Her breath doesn't smell particularly fowl to me, but I'm not sure what smell I'm looking for.
I don't feel any egg stuck in her, but I'm not sure.
See sticking out keel bone
See how recessed her stomach is compared to bone:
Vent-dirty but she has pooped not sure how much:
Face shot-see comb and eyes:
Better shot of comb:
Sister comb for reference:
