Egg bound.

The yellow poop sounds like a reproductive infection or salpingitis. A doughy crop is not an empty crop. Crops slow down with reproductive disorders, worms, and other problems. Sometimes you can massage the crop several times a day if they are drinking enough, and it may break it up. But giving some chilled coconut oil cut into small pieces can be helpful too. Treating lice every 10 days at least twice with permethrin is good, but also the coop should be treated after coop and nest bedding is removed. Lice eggs hatch every 10 days, and the newly hatched ones should be treated before they can reproduce.

Never had a hen w/reproductive issues; but, hopefully, it isn’t a reproductive issue. I’ve checked for an egg, and I didn’t really feel one . Well…..how often do chickens die from reproductive issues?

I’ll try getting permethrin soon. I just want her to live

She will die within a week if she has EYP and it is not treated. From the symptoms you're giving it sounds like this is what's going on. Please read this article:

As mentioned before I would get her on an antibiotic asap. I would also put her in a saltwater bath, preferably sea salt 6-8 tablespoons into the bucket and mix it around before you put her in, ensuring her vent is under the water line. You could also try giving her an enema with it. You will need to work quickly if you want to save her.

I would also take a look at this link. It is a thread from one of the other members who had success in treating EYP in her flock.

You are right. That is very similar to what she is experiencing. But this has been going on for over a week…

But I don’t think she has that. And those antibiotics thingies mentioned, I’ve never even heard of them….

Please get some photos of your hen and her poop.

Thank you.

Please do not give your hen an enema.

A what? I’m not going to do surgery or whatever.
