    Update: I helped her to vomit yesterday, and she seemed a lot better than before. Gave her a little bit of moistened layer ration, and some organic, natural yogurt, but she didn't touch it.

    HELP! Sick hen, absolutely no idea what's wrong!

    Hen is sick, don't know the cause

    One of my hens has been acting off for a day or two, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Her symptoms are: lethargic (unless I try to catch her) wet, off-color excrement pale face, comb, and wattles loss of appetite; oddly enough her crop seems full but I haven't seen her really eating...
