This hen did not eat this morning, walking around slow, DID drink water. I saw her pass clear/brown poop. Her crop felt a little squishy.
I emptied her crop, just in case it was sour crop and gave her a 40 minute Epsom salt warm soak just in case it was egg bound, Gently rubbing her abdomen.
When I put her in the kennel to get some rest. She just stands there like the pic and is still just standing. It looks like she is working her back end muscles because the feathers keep contracting and releasing.
What else can I do? What is wrong? Any ideas? How long does the soak take if that’s the issue? The water that came out DID NOT smell at all.
