View attachment 1282537

I see what there saying but IF it is peritonitis by the time you would realise it is normally to late. I too had a hen I had to euthanize last year because of this. She had only laid 4 eggs then stopped. When she pooped it was literally just egg mess.

Does her rear end look or feel bloated?

Can she actually see out of the eye with the ulcer or has she gone blind in that eye? Blindness in 1 eye can cause a lot of different problems such as eating less etc.

Honestly not sure. It stays closed most of the time. When she does crack it open, it's very very red. Her other eye is beautiful and healthy. In the videos, I was throwing the eggs to try and grab her attention like it was moving or something and entice her so I know the other one is at least okay.

I do too! Darn these animals that you love and feed and then turn around and do this to you

Nope! Her hiney got a clean bill of health! He also double checked to make sure she wasn't egg bound and she wasn't

Can you bring her inside where it's warm? That should perk her up and it will allow you to see what all of her poop looks like.

If you haven't already done so you separate her from the rest

With her not eating could be vitamin deficiency and or dehydration, definitely would be beneficial to have her be separated from everyone else so you can closely monitor the situation
