    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    Milky Way is looking and acting much better now. Haven't confirmed she's laid an egg, but otherwise she's her usual self. Thanks for the help, I'll keep updates if anything changes

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    Last night she ate quite a bit before bed, this morning her crop is near empty. I've got her in a separate pen with scrambled eggs, although she isn't eager to eat right now, still drinking a bit. She hasn't laid an egg in all this time. I don't have a lot of access to a fecal float or the...

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    She lays regular eggs about every two days, although the skin around her vent and belly has been red for a while (since I had to cut off the feathers stuck to a large poop ball). Otherwise, I haven't seen this kind of leakage. She does not have water belly, and her crop is nearing empty. I...

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    I've let her Milky Way in the nesting box, frequently checking on her. Since then, her 'poop' has changed from dark yellow fluid to bright green.

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    Thanks! I searched it up, looks like it can be cured with apple-cider vinegar, but I've already been putting that in their water for a while now. The yellow isn't really on her vent that I can see but is more of what she's "pooping." She had squirted out a lot after the bath.

    She can be sometimes, but this is different. She ALWAYS eats, my hungriest hen, and now won't and is uncomfortably discharging yellow fluid from her vent.

    Chicken won't eat or leave nesting box

    Hello! I've got a hen, Milky Way, who's always a hungry girl and first to eat the food I give her. Last night, she stayed in the nesting box, J thought she might be trying to lay, but this morning she was still in there and I felt nothing in her abdomen. I gave her a warm Epsom salt bath...

    About two months ago, I dewormed the whole flock.

    I did, she doesn't eat it more than the regular feed though, so I'm still feeding her dry food with eggs.

    Not yet, I'll get some soon. It's not very hot, maybe humid because of all the rain.

    Any ideas? She hasn't changed much

    I now know the weak eggs aren't coming from her, but another hen I'll have to help. Happy hasn't laid anything. All I fed her today is eggs, a crumble mix with some corn, and watered it down.
