I have a hen who yesterday I noticed was being very much not like herself. She is a major explorer and loves drinking water and she’s always full on food. She is very lethargic and wouldn’t leave the roosting bar today. She wouldn’t eat or drink. I have her an epsom salt warm bath in case she was egg bound but I don’t know if anything happened. She was able to start pooping again after that. The first one was green watery diharea and the second was a more solid (still liquidy) green poop. Her abdomen isn’t huge but is warm and red. I put my finger in her vent with lubricated glove to check for anything hard or an egg but didn’t feel anything (I’m unexperienced with this) but there was a bit of yellow liquid that came out. When I offered her water with electrolytes she drank it and was interested in the food I offered but she wouldn’t eat it
Also... I hear a rattling , gurgling, or gas like noise in side of her. I don’t know what that is.
A vet is not an option because there are none anywhere remotely near me
I love her so much and I’ll do anything to help her.
