I am at a loss on how to proceed. Here are the pertinent facts:
Nearly one year old EE hen. Normal laying other than reduced frequency compared to all my other hens. Maybe 2-3 eggs per week.
Monday had what seemed to be a bound egg - then laid the egg. Egg was normal.
Rebounded for an hour, eating and drinking as usual. Then became lethargic, depressed looking and had yellow watery poop. Ruffles feathers.
I put her in the sick bay and she seemed tired but content to rest. She WILL NOT eat a thing other than grass. She has refused her layer feed, eggs, yogurt.
Poop solidified but then I saw saw blood. I began treatment with Corid yesterday. She will only drink water if I force it with a medicine dropper (should I be doing this?)
Today she is the same other than her poop is white and green, no yellow or red. I set her in the yard because she seemed antsy - I wondered if she wanted to eat something in the yard. This is her now. A statue in appearance.
This is her recent poop (not as yellow as it looks in the picture under fluorescent light):
I know this is no substitute for a vet visit but no one near me can see her until next week. Any ideas? What should I be doing?
