Added PICS: Hen has limp comb, lethargic, tail down

[bawkbawkbawk]

It could certainly be dehydration. I'm in Chicago right now and believe me, if I had a comb, it would be limp and I would be lethargic!

Keep us posted on how she does!

Adding pictures because her posture and stance is just so strange. Her legs are wide and she's hunched over. Her belly is very soft but full. Seems to be more bloated than yesterday. She hasn't laid an egg and I don't feel one in there.

I did give the wormer meds yesterday. How long until she would improve if it was worms? I'm starting to think it's something else. Any thoughts? She doesn't seem to be in pain but I don't know how to tell.

tail is down, floppy comb

Wide stance to accommodate belly, dirty back end even though I've been washing her

Another view from the front with her strange hunched appearance and legs. She's snacking on whole wheat pizza crust from the kids.

Poor girl. I hope she feels better soon!

I'm thinking egg yolk peritonitis? Just gathered from a google search.
