Drunk looking chicken

[Katie McMahen]

So my chicken was hiding we found her with her head weaving back and forth and the next day(today)she ejected what looked to be the contents of an egg no shell.

Is she doing better after that came out?

We never had a sick chicken . This is our first time . Anyone w suggestions as to why she maybe sick . It’s not like we can find a vet that can diagnose this . Doesn’t seem like we have any near by .

Maybe she has worms or coccidiosis, that can make her seem drunk. I would suggest that you go to your local feed store and pick up some medications for these problems or ask them there.

Sound like she laid a shell-less egg or one with a soft shell and the shell still stuck inside her, which could account for her being no better.

Having said that, it could be worth de-worming her just in case.
Is she eating and drinking?
How are her droppings now?

She has not gotten up to see her poop she is in a dog cage separate from the others . We did have a hawk issue this weekend . Not sure out of all 5 if he hurt anyone but could a hawk break a egg inside her . Our shells are always nice a strong . Our girls are really spoiled .

Ah.
Sorry to hear about the hawk issue, yep could be an egg break. Can you feel anything inside her?
Your girls sound spoiled yep (good thing)!
Good luck to her, keep us informed on improvement/changes, fingers crossed.
