    Hello there, Nellie is about four and five years I believe (I inherited her with my house) and I am not sure when her last egg was laid, she has four other sisters. They were not hand raised but she allows me to hold and check her. Her poop is runny and was green but now is yellow.

    Hi everyone, Just an update to Nellie's condition. She doesn't want to be touched, doesn't want to walk outside her cage. She's eaten some slivers of cantelope and one gulp of water. That's it. Is she dying? Can I do anything else to make her feel comfortable? How long does she have?

    Well, here's an update. I managed to smear some yogurt on her beak and all of a sudden she stood up and started cackling...She walked out of her cage and devoured a bunch of sunflower seeds. Didn't want water, and after a few minutes, she pooped again and walked into her cage.....chickens!

    well, here I am, back from the market... I tried the yogurt, rubbing some on her beak. She tasted it, stood up and pooped. Not wanting anymore yogurt, but maybe later.. I also felt her crop and there was nothing hard or squishy...crossing my fingers sigh

    She won't drink either, I've tried wetting my finger and holding it to her beak.. Not interested. So you think she might like yogurt?

    My lovely Australorp, Nellie, is in a dog crate in my home office. As advised, I separated her from her sisters after she was limping and being pecked about. She hasn't pooped since I moved her, hasn't eaten; this morning I tried to hand feed her fresh scrambled eggs. Was not have any of this...
