chicken cant walk help!

[Egg_cited]

my ameraucana who is 6 almost 7 isn't eating or drinking. she can walk but keeps stumbling/falling over. she also keeps crouching downs/trying to poop, but isn't. her bum is dirty but no vent gleet. she's also has a complete empty crop.

Is it possible that she is just slowing down toward the end of life? This happened to my Austraulope just a few weeks ago. I thought she was not eating or drinking much because the other girls were being naughty toward her, which was very sudden as she (Ness) had always been the leader. She began to do odd things like walk right past me as I was coming to feed them. Then she would not come running back to the run after foraging when I called them back for snicky-snacks (mealy worms, cracked corn, strawberry tops, etc.). After five days of watching this decline, I scrambled her an egg and held her in my lap in the sunshine. She ate the egg right up. I put her back into her nesting box after an hour and gave her a little water an hour later. By the next morning, she was talking to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

not very sure honestly she's still a lil perky but just not as much. I gave her some eggs and she ate one but refused to eat the other. she just isn't walking much and is very wobbly

I hope your girl gets better.

Have you checked her feet to be sure they are not injured in any way? Or, on another note, I have seen people suggest Dulcolax for constipation. Could that be it? Is her crop normal in size?

I have come to find many home remedies researching Dalia Monterroso's advice. I sure hope your little one gets to feeling better. If the websites suggested above don't have what you need, try Monterroso.

yep her feet are completely fine. she just pooped and it was a little more liquid than usual but that was it. her crop was complete empty until I fed her. she just keeps sitting in a weird crouching position and is very wobbly.

I'd give a Calcium Citrate+D3 tablet in case she is trying to pass an egg. Any swelling of her abdomen?
