    //help// sick, lethargic hen with huge abdomen!

    Its 3 am here and she is walking around her cage and preening herself. She seems a bit more active. Her crop still hasn't emptied out. Maybe that is the reason why she has been this lethargic? I gave her 15 ml of epsom salt water around 6 hours apart yesterday. Should I try flushing her again?

    Her recent droppings is that first pic. Her droppings prior to this one was watery. This one is a bit more solid. I gave her a mashed banana and she ate a bit and is now sleeping.

    //help// sick, lethargic hen with huge abdomen!

    My 1 and a half year old Australorp has been a suspect of EYP for quite some time now. The last known egg she gave was back in July of 2021. After that I don't know when she stopped laying. Nearly every day, she goes to the egg box, makes a ruckus and comes back out. She acts as though she has...
