Chicken possibly sick

[Ebony Rose]

She's got some sort of mucus on roof her mouth and only wants hide in the box

Separate her from your flock, preferably where they can still see each other but not touch. This could be a sour crop or a respiratory issue. When you had her mouth open, did you smell her breath, is it a neutral odor or does it smell fermented? How does her breathing sound when she's not being held? Is she rattling, does it sound labored, is she gasping? Is she sneezing, coughing or shaking her head? Are her eyes bubbly? Is she twisting her neck? Does she also have mucus discharge from her nostrils? How does her poop look? How does her tush look, clean, dirty, swollen or puffy, red. How about her vent? Pictures would be great as it helps to narrow down problems.

How do I check her crop

Tonight at bedtime, run your hands over her crop, perhaps a gentle massage... you are expecting it to be full. First thing tomorrow, before allowing her to eat or drink, repeat the crop examination, it should be empty. Smell her breath, neutral odor or is it smelling fermented? Does she have access to sand, pebbles, small rocks... grit?

I don't know I'm on my way home now to see what's going on with her will get pictures as best as I can and check out everything that you have asked

Can you post any pictures of her or the inside of the beak? Are her eyes watery or do they have bubbles? Can you hear her sneeze or does she have noisy breathing? Opening her beak could be gasping or adjusting her crop.

I know I asked a lot, and asked you to check both ends of your girl. Thing is, IF it's a respiratory illness, it might only manifest during times of stress or ADDITIONAL illness... hence the reason for the extensive exam. I'll keep your flock in my prayers and await more details.

I heard her sneeze and pass gas.

Her rear looks ok.

She has grit. Her crop looks empty. I'll see if I can get a video of her and try to post it.
