Emergency tail tucked trying to make noise

[Eggcessive]

You can check her for egg binding by inserting a gloved finger into her vent to feel for a stuck egg (wear a dispable glove if you have one.)

No foreign bodies or lesions. No wheezing but faint sounds when she cranes. Have seen her drink. We are in northern california

Is a vet an option?

where in Northern California are you?

Do they have grit available to help grind up food in the gizzards? Has she been drinking water today? If you should lose her from this illness, please try to get a necropsy by one of the state poultry vets to look for what is going on. It costs about $20 in CA. @casportpony lives in N. Cal, and may be able to suggest the best lab. The body needs to be refrigerated and double bagged in garbage bags, then contact the state lab for instructions on shipping and a shipping label. Do you have any medications that might help her?

You're about an hour away from the UC Davis lab and hospital. Can you take her there to be evaluated?

I was just thinking that. Great suggestion.

No eggs but watery dark green poop(?) coming out after. Just a bit

It sounds like she might have an infection. My suggestion would be to start her on antibiotics, but antibiotics are not available in California feed stores, so I think the best thing would be a visit to a vet.

Taking her to the vet. Thanks everyone for your help. I will post the outcome in case someone else has the same issue.
