Hello.
we have 4 hens 3 barred and 1 white Orp.
we have had them a lil over 3 years. We love them so much. In the past few days we have a hen that feels thin in the Brest plate area hardly nothing in crop and hard like abdomen and can feel some I would say egg shaped objects that I can slight move but our hen does show some discomfort while doing so. so we have had her inside and eating her layer feed plus some extras apples Fruits and ac water. And suggestions or talk will help. Belly does not seem bloated with fluid. Thank you

How is she eating? Does her poop look normal?

Hello. No it is runny I have pics, she is molting a bit. But I have never seen this behavior before in her.

Welcome to BYC! There is so much to see, do, and learn here! I cannot offer any advice, but I wish you and your hen luck!

These droppings have not changed in 2 days. They are on an absorbent Matt. I have been giving some oats and apple chungs and chicken elixer to help replenish nutrients.

She wants to keep her eyes shut most of the time and rest like no energy a little wobbly and will throw a wing out to brace herself.
No indication of visible worms. Should I try and worm them all I found some 5x just in case I should. No vet around looks at chickens. It’s a bit frustrating be we are keeping her happy for now. Also was thinking of antibiotic. My un educated guess is egg Peritonitis. We checked for egg bound yesterday in the bath no egg that was obvious.
