Thank you for the reply!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm not sure if I should use the Corid treatment, Polyvisol and vitamin E and selenium, molasses and/or Epsom salt. Thank you!!

CrazyChickns: Sorry I don't have an actual picture with me (I'm at work), but I just did a quick google search and found the picture below. The chicken in the picture looks very similar to my hen in color, etc. but her wing is not drooping like this picture, she is just have issuing holding her...

I have a four-month-old buff orpington hen who has been healthy since I got her as a chick. She came from a hatchery and received all necessary vaccines. She has never displayed any issues up until this morning when I found her sitting in the coop and she could not hold her head up properly. She...

Mrs. B - my hen Betty Lou seems to be doing ok. She's not active, but I was able to give her some more water yesterday and this morning (she was fighting me, which I hope is a good sign). I made her a scrambled egg last night and she ate about 1/3 of it. I also started her on the Tylan 50...

Mrs. B - I can't thank you enough! I'll start the Tylan when I get home and get more fluids in her. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thank you so much for the advice!! I will clean everything thoroughly! I've cleaned before with Oxine, would that do in place of bleach? I'm located in Rochester, NY so I believe I could send her to Cornell if it comes to that. Fingers are still crossed she will make it. I do have Tylan 50...

Could whatever she has be contagious to the other chickens in my flock? Everyone else has been acting normal...

No, she hasn't laid any egg(s). Thank you so much for your help! I wish there was more I could do for her!

Here is her poop. Semi-runny and green-yellow color. She was ok this morning. Gave her more water via syringe, she fought me a little on that, and she's still resting quietly. No interest in food. Anything else I should be doing for her?

Thanks Mrs. B! When I got home she was about the same. I gave her more water with a syringe and she was happy to drink a lot. She did poop but no egg. She's not interested in food. Went back to check on her and she was resting and not interested in more water. I'm hoping she pulls through.

Mrs. B - thank you so much for all of your help. I will look into this!

Mrs. B - I'm looking up info on Internal laying/Egg Yolk Peritonitis and she seems to have those symptoms as well. The prognosis doesn't look good from what I'm reading...

I will try the mash when I get home. I don't think she's eaten much since Sunday. Her abdomen felt normal, but her poops were very liquid and yellow. She has not been wormed lately. I'm just not sure if she's egg bound or nor because we couldn't feel anything in there but she's displaying...

Thank you for the responses! Last night we soaked her in warm water for 30 minutes and she seemed to be trying to push an egg out. My husband put on a glove and inspected her vent and did not feel an egg. We did also give her a tums. This morning she seemed very lethargic and didn't appear...
