Help!! Crop/chest area full of liquid!!!

[Sydnee Fisher]

I have a hen about a year old and was doing fine when we first got her from a not so good place other then having a bad poopy vent... after about a month she started showing symptoms of weakness, not walking much ( laying down all the time), diarrhea, laying soft shelled eggs, and this morning I found her crop/chest area was full of some kinda luquid when I was washing her vent... Any help is appreciated! Thank you for any comments!
P.S I have a vet coming Friday!

Crop is the neck area...crest is the poof feathers on top of only certain breeds chicken's head.
First...have you ever had a fecal exam done to check for worms or have you ever wormed them?
Sounds like you may be dealing with a slow or sour crop. Look under articles..in the learning center...then maintaining a healthy flock for a great article about crops.

@KikisGirls There is no foul odor coming from her mouth though is it still sour crop?

Did he take some of her poop to perform a fecal exam?

No she seems to be doing better... I just massage her crop

Getting better is great news.
Good luck with her!
