Help! Chicken acting strange! Egg bound?

[balletchickenmom]

Hi! My buff Brahma is acting very strange. She’s been isolating herself and picking at her feathers a lot and sticking her tail up like this and falling asleep.

Any thoughts? She’s lethargic and won’t eat or drink and is wobbly when standing

When was her last egg?

I'd check on her crop to make sure it's emptying overnight. If she's not laid an egg and should have, give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for 7 days.

Look her over for lice/mites since she's picking at her feather a lot. Take note if she's starting to molt when you inspect her.

I would try to encourage her to drink, she needs to be hydrated. Give her sips of sugar water or electrolytes. Once she's drinking, offer some wet soupy feed. You can also provide bits of watery treats like watermelon or tomato.
