    Sick or what

    I have a 2.5 year old red ranger hen that has stopped eating and is very lethargic. I can get her to drink a little but she is vomiting. I tried to feel for a stuck egg but I have no idea what it would feel like and when I hang her to check she just continuously vomits. Any ideas?
