My year old Brahma is sick.. We noticed her yesterday morning she didn't come running to me for feed. So I went in and found her just laying on the ground. I got her up and checked her out. I don't see no blockage at the vent, I did not feel a egg. Her poo is just water with white in it.... She dose not really want to walk. I felt her crop and it felt like air was in it but soft and I could feel something in there like maybe food. Her crop is not flat. I gave her some supplements and put her in a cage to her self. She did drink water but I do not think she is eating right now.
I do not really have the option to go to a vet due to I have no idea of a vet that works on chicken near me....

How old is she, and has she been laying eggs recently? Is her tail position down or up? She could be dehydrated due to the white urate runny poops, so I would keep encouraging water. The Poultry NutriDrench can be given daily orally 1 ml for every 3 pounds of weight up to 3 ml. Try offering some scrambled egg and wet some chicken feed for her. She might have a reproductive infection or disorder. Consider an antibiotic such as amoxicillin (aqua mox.) Be sure to look for any lice or mites on her skin which could weaken her.

I thought she was a year old but now looking back at when I got her she is only 9 months old. Her tail is down. She just wants to sit. I am not sure if she has started laying eggs yet, I have other chicken and not all are laying yet. I will see if I can find some amozicillin here in town like tomorrow fast. I could prob order it but It would take to long to get here.
