Hi, I am new to BYC and have a sick little 3 year old buff orpington. She stayed out all night 2 nights ago and I found her the next morning, not visibly injured, but weak and listless. She stood outside all day and did not go in on her own that evening. I placed her in a nesting box for the night.This morning she clucked a bit but did not leave the box to free range with the rest of the flock. She remained in the box all day, has refused pellets and corn and is now again listless and appears to have a swollen breast. Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome! Thank you!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

I'm sorry I can't help you with your hen. You may want to post this in the injuries and diseases section - look under the Forum tab above. Good luck.

Her crop couldn't be impacted if she hasn't been eating. Try posting this in the Emergencies/diseases/cures section: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

Welcome to BYC!

Hi and from Ohio. So glad you joined. Has she been laying eggs? If not, she could be egg bound. I agree with the others, you need to post this in the emergencies sections. You will get more help there.
