Just keep her warm and quiet tonight, nothing else you can do.I don’t want her to suffer. Hopefully we can get some help for her tomorrow.
Pinot is a 3 1/2 year-old brown ISA.
She ate and drank some but has thick light, yellow mucousy, fluid coming out of her beak.
but she is making gargling noises when we pushed on it
Glad she made it through the night.I wanted to thank everybody for their help last night. Pinot made it through the night, but it was rough. We went this morning to the vet and she tested positive for coccidosis. The vet is hopeful that that is all it is and not Mareks. we are going to start her on medication and are feeding her yogurt hoping it will stop the regurgitation I will keep everyone posted.
Thanks for your reply. I was hoping it was just the coccidiosis, but I think that’s wishful thinking. She is receiving Corid and Tylan. She’s a little better . She is eating some and drinking but continues to have the yellow liquid from her beak so not sure that she’s actually getting any nutrition. We were scheduled to leave Thursday for vacation. I postponed it till Saturday. I’m going to see if there’s any improvement but then worry about leaving her again. I don’t want her to suffer. Hopefully I’ll get a sign of what to do by then. She is an absolute sweetheart. She is definitely enjoying being an indoor girl. She actually wants to be snuggled constantly. She’s sleeping in my lap currently. Lol. I am just really questioning whether the fluid from her beak is from coccidosis . I will give updates certainly would appreciate any advice. I want to make sure I do the right thing for her. Thanks again.Glad she made it through the night.
All poultry generally will have some Coccidia when a fecal float is performed. Hopefully treating for an outbreak will be helpful. What did the vet give you for treatment?
Her stance and the regurgitation says she's having troubles and is not feeling well at all.
Is her crop emtpying overnight? If it's not, then I'd address that symptom (read the article linked below).
Is she laying eggs - should she have laid an egg? If so and she's not, then I'd also get Calcium into her. 1 Calcium Citrate with D3 tablet daily, just open the beak and pop the tablet in.
Production hens often start to have reproductive problems at her age, so it may be likely this is the main underlying condition that is causing her decline. EYP, Cancer, Salpingitis, etc. are all common in laying hens. The yellow poop could indicate a number of these things including infection, reproductive issues and/or liver problems.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that she stopped laying about a month ago but did have some issues of shell less eggs before she stopped laying, but always bounced back. Her crop is empty but she does a lot of stretching and yawning with her neck as well.Glad she made it through the night.

She's spitting up yellow fluid from the beak, that is usually not from Coccidiosis. Sounds like a crop problem or do take a look inside the beak for any Canker or lesions/white/yellow pasty material.I am just really questioning whether the fluid from her beak is from coccidosis .

Does she spit up on her own, when she bends over/drinks or when the crop is pressed - just asking. The yawning and neck movements is usually an attempt to adjust the crop.
Do you detect a bad odor on her breath?
Crop problems are often a Symptom. Reproductive disorders can cause a lot of inflammation and slow the system down. Coccidiosis which affects the intestines can also cause inflammation and infection too, so her system is likely slow for one reason or another.
Having problems with shell-less eggs and bouncing back, she may have EYP, Internal laying or similar which can cause material and/or fluid to accumulate in the abdomen which also puts pressure on the whole system.
Hopefully the medications will be helpful. Corid of course will help with Coccidiosis and Tylan while mainly used to treat respiratory infection, could also help with Enteritis which can often accompany Coccidiosis.
Keep us posted.

She is eating and have noticed less fluid from her beak only very small amount this a.m. but she is still sleeping almost constantly. Any help on posting would be appreciated. Thank you.
