Chicken not eating and laying weird eggs! Help!!!

[soler]

it looks respiratory (though i bet she has worms too). Can you describe the symptoms any further? ie, is there mucus by the nostrils, eye discharge, color etc etc. If it's just a cold it will clear up, but i don't think she would have stopped eating then. Other stuff will require medicine, if curable. Without it, and not eating, i think she will most likely die. You can try force feeding her some feed mixed with yogurt and vitamins and some gatorade to keep her going if she's battling through it. You should keep an eye on the other chickens because it may be infectious.

Updates...

Eye looks almost normal now.
She is eating a little now but only when I show the food to her.
She is drinking... First with dropper then started drinking from regular water thing when I showed it to her.


Poop now looks like this...



I have a heat lamp on but it is quite far away from the cage... The temp for us is going to dip down to 16 F tonite real feal 6F. Should I keep the heat lamp on?

She is not around any chickens... Like totally different house.
There had been a little eye discard earlier that was yellow... but that is gone and It looks like she can see again.

She has little black gunk around her nose is that chicken snot? It is not normal.

I would keep the heat lamp on. and keep offering food. Human multivitamin without iron may help too.

from my chicken healthbook, diseases affecting the eyes that have discharges or are swollen or watery, in grown chickens: (symptoms, disease, how common)

swollen eyelids with sticky or cheesy discharge- roup- rare (more common in younger chickens)
frothy eyes- chronic respiratory disease- common
mucousy eyes- acute cholera- not common
watery, swollen eyes - infectious laryngotracheitis - common
watery, swollen eyes - influenza - rare
blackish eyes draining straw colored fluid - exotic newcastle - common
swollen, inflamed, watery - eye worm - not common
wet eyes - infectious bronchitis

research those and see if the overall symptoms match up. Not sure about the poop. looks like you found that poop chart. Suggesting she's not eating enough, which we know is true.
another good chart here (better in my opinion

I just learned that she has always layed soft eggs. Right now we have still not had a egg with a shell.



Notice how the eye looks set back a little... that is what hers looks like.



She is eating and her poop in normal. Still using a dropper for water.

 

[ilikehorses2]

Oh and did I mention that the egg breaks right away.

 

[soler]

well. then she at least needs calcium/phosphous/vitamin d. Is it very thin shelled, or literally missing the shell and just having a membrane? Some of these issues are associated to respiratory diseases too, that i have mentioned in the previous post, like infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis, influenza.

She might have an overall vitamin deficiency if she is not getting the right feed. You can use human supplements, just give her one without iron, in her food. Can you at least do that? And provide her with some balanced chicken feed. They can develop serious nutritional deficiencies with an unbalanced diet. If there is nothing at all you can give her in terms of medication or balanced feed or vitamins, then i am not sure what we are trying to find out here though. I hope she recovers.

She has been returned back to where she came from. She is laying normal eggs again. Eye is better.

 

[soler]

that's terrific - did you do anything to her or just kept her safe and warm?

 

[ilikehorses2]

Warm, wash eye, and Gatorade.
