Chicken help??

[Kk chickens]

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Can you post pictures of her? And a close up of her vent? What are you feeding her?

You need to check her crop function to make sure it is full at night and empty in the morning. Smell her breath when you check her crop at night. Also feel between her legs for fluid build up or abnormal fullness/hardness. Compare her to your other birds.

Got it figured out

So we are feeding her some pellet feed with some vitamins.
And she got up earlier just to eat a little bit of grass, I would send a couple of photos but the button for the app to insert the photos is currently not working for me.

Got it figured out, she got up a little bit to eat a little bit of grass that's when I took the photos

What was wrong with your chicken? And what was your Emergency Forum?

That link is to a forum here where you can post chicken illnesses.

My barely one-year-old hen acted like yours, so I brought her in. She was feverish on her back underside, but nothing abnormal at her vent area, so she's got an infection in there, but not necessarily internal laying. I gave her turmeric and black pepper in her mash for inflammation and ordered 25 capsules of 250 mg amoxicillin from https://www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/ I just gave her her second dose with a syringe and the fever is gone, but she's still tipsy so a ways to go yet.

It actually looks good but not sure we're seeing the vent there.

Ohh thank you, I'm glad your hens doing better

The vent area feels kind of hard and she is not wet but it's hard to tell cause her feathers are so thick and rough. I would send a photo but the button to insert the photos are not working for me currently

Okay, what is her diet?

Looks like she might be going into a molt.

Her regular diet consists of greens like lettuce and grass, as well as some fermented food and pellets that we put vitamins in with. We also give them a little bit of dmaticious Earth in there food.

That's good. Mine with the infection didn't seem to lose her appetite, she would just lay around like yours, and when she did get up to eat and drink, she was tipsy.

When is the last time she laid an egg?
