I have a hen that is no acting normal, she has been staying to herself and is kind of lethargic. She keeps her left eye closed and keeps opening her mouth like she yawning. Any ideas?

Can you check her crop to see if it is big and puffy or hard, and check it again in the early morning before she eats to make sure it empties overnight? Can you try opening her eye, look inside it carefully for something in it, and flush it with some saline or lubricating eye drops? Has your flock been wormed recently?She is a year old, poop is solid, not eating a lot. no trouble walking, will go out and peck with the other hens when I let them out. main symptoms continue to be lathargic, going off by herself, keeping the one eye closed, sleeping a lot. She also opens her beak like she is trying to yawn. I dont think she is egg bound, although I gave her a soaking, if she was eggbound, I figure she would have died by now, it's been several days. shes not eating a lot, not pecking at the ground much. I have here isolated right now.
