HELP HUGE EMERGENCY!!!!

[Wyorp Rock]

I’m just so worried

I know you're worried

Take it slow so you don't stress her. She's alert and pooping, so you have a little time to work with her.
The more at ease you are she will be too.
Keep us posted.

Just relax. This can be a common occurence with chickens. Sometimes they feel and act much better when the material is gone out of their egg tracts (oviduct and cloaca or vent.) I would give her a calcium tablet for 3 straight days. Here are some diagrams of the reproductive tract which may help you understand where and what is going on:

Thanks. I felt in her vent and there was nothing. Except she did let out some more of that egg stuff. I think if I soak her she will relax and maybe let me do a little more.

Is her belly swollen at all...squishy or hard?
Check from under her vent to down between her legs,
comparing to another bird can help tell any difference.

Her belly is pretty normal although it might be a little swollen.

I hope that she enjoys her spa treatments and all of the attention. You are doing a good job, and the experience will be helpful in the future. Hopefully she will be fine and go on to live many years.

Hens can suffer from a lot of different reproductive disorders. In the earlier link from the Merck Manual, there is a list of the different disorders and what causes those. It can be helpful to read about them for future knowledge. Also when we lose a hen, it can be helpful to know what they died of if we perform a necropsy to looks for any clues on what was wrong. You can take pictures of the organs and post them here. And there is a lot of info online on what to look for.

Hello, I want to thank you and everyone for suggestions! My hen got a spa treatment ate the Tums and is now eating and drinking. She’s still taking it slow but it far better!
