Thank you all for responding!

I have a hen that hasn't been acting right for a few days. Yesterday she stood at the water bucket and drink occasionally but had her eyes closed most of the time. She was standing with her wings out a bit and hunkered down a little (not to bad). So I thought she may be egg bound, but when I...

Thank you!

No I wondered if it wasn't egg..... but i cant see anything that looks like a shell.

Yes, I checked and didn't feel a egg. All I got was the runny stuff that came out when I checked.

It would be her left side.

Yes, she is inside my house and I have a heat pad under her.

No signs of lice or mites. When i found her this morning she was hunched just like the picture and had a very clear with a little white string looking poop. This afternoon after her 2nd bath i felt something squishy near her vent, i massaged it and got some of the same looking stuff out ...
