Egg bound

I am thinking New Castle Diease as the poop that I can see from your picture + the symptoms. All you need to do is flush her system with water via syringe for 1 to 2 days. Give her about 25-50ml per hour, this needs to be spaced so one dose per 15 minutes or something like that. Good luck!

Did you have you hen tested? If not, you cannot say what it had.

She lived but she did have most of the symptoms. Plus that was when I wasn't active on BYC so I was never told that I could test her poop too.

My sister is watching her when I am at work and sent me this photo. She is eating and drinking but is limping. I don’t think she is egg bound but has came down with something. Is there any medicine or vitamins that you would remember for her to get stronger without knowing what is going on?

We were not able to feel a egg yesterday. She doesn’t have much strength to stand or walk and now I think she may be ill. I work all day today and only manager there so can not call in so I’m trying to find someone to watch her and make sure she eats and drinks

Just my opinion, I still think she is having reproductive problems. Egg masses or tumors can cause some limping. Since she is up and moving around a little, the best you can do sometimes is see that they are eating/drinking, check to make sure the crop empties overnight, get a fecal float to rule out worms and see how it goes.

Personally, I don't think she has any illness like Newcastles you do not mention ANY symptoms that would match that contagious, deadly, reportable disease.

Just my 2¢

I'm very sorry if you think that you had Newcastle in your flock. If you do have this terrible disease, then it would be wise to send some birds for testing. This is a communicable disease where flocks at the very minimum need to be quarantined and evaluated. Culling all is the best way to control an outbreak.
Newcastle cannot be cured period, so flushing the system would be fruitless. For more information about Newcastles, I suggest that you do some reading/research via Google or contact your state government.

Found out the issue! She is going to the vet this morning for Clostridium Perfringens! She’s been walking a lot more lately but her poop is still the same so that’s why I still got her a appointment! Thanks for everyone’s help!

How did you find out?
You'll have vet test for this?
Best of cLuck!
