Does this poop look normal?

Hard boiled eggs are one of the easiest things for chickens to digest. It's not what she ate that's causing her problems.

Check her crop first thing in the morning. A crop disorder can cause weight loss, and eventually starvation. If her crop is full and never empties, she will never feel hungry.

Will do!
How should it feel in the morning?

She should have everything digested in the morning, so as @azygous said, it should be empty and flat.

Crop was a firm small ball this morning.
She’s a bit better now, eating and drinking. Still a bit sluggish though.
Is it possible that she ate some of the slug pellets out in the patio ?
I’ve put her in a rabbit hutch with growers mash, tuna and water, to make sure she eats plenty.

Poop from last night under her roost

She’s acting much better now, up and down the pen eating grass.

I’m thinking she just ate something poisonous.

An impacted crop desn't need to be a large, full crop. The little solid ball in the crop this morning indicates an impaction that needs to be treated.

If you can find a few minutes, read this. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

It will tell you how to treat impacted crop. I will add that you cannot overdose the oil. In fact, be aggressive with it. I like the solid coconut oil because of its ease in administering it when it's solid. In fact, many chickens will eat it on their own.

After each dose, massage the hard ball in the crop with your fingers with the objective of softening it and getting it to break up. Offer plenty of warm to tepid water so that can help soften and wash down the contents. Have a stool softener (not a laxative) located and handy. You will use this after a few hours if there is not success in busting up the hard lump.

I really hope I am wrong about a reproductive problem, but if you see the yellow cooked egg like material in the droppings, that is a sign of internal laying. I have a hen who has been passing droppings like that for awhile.

Would she not be exhibiting egg laying behavior such as her comb and wattles being larger and redder , squatting down for the rooster or showing interest to the nesting box ?

Thanks! Will have to buy some coconut oil then. Would it be best leave it till tomorrow since she’s ate quite a bit today? Her crop does look to have emptied a bit last night, was a lot smaller this morning than it was yesterday.
