For the past 3 weeks my easter egger has had a downward tail, is lethargic and eats and drinks very little. I gave her three epson salt baths and tums as suggested on this website. She seemed to feel a little better after the baths and tums but I noticed today she is back to the droopy tail and lethargic. What else can I do to help her?

Can you post photos of her and her poop?

When was her last egg?

What's her crop like?

I'd try to encourage her to drink and stay hydrated. Electrolytes or some sugar water can be enticing. Hold a shallow cup up to her beak. Once hydrated, offer wet mushy feed.

If you suspect she's having reproductive issues, give the Extra Calcium daily for a total of 7 days. Calcium Citrate+D3 if you have it, but TUMS can be helpful.
