Help maybe eggbound

[BigBlueHen53]

Sure! I hope it helps. Having read that, do you now think it's a crop issue? I'll be off line until tomorrow night but keep posting, others are sure to jump in.

She also had a green and white diarrhea. I gave her a warm bath and lubed her vent. She looks like shes pushing

3 days ago was last egg.

I would start her on 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week. She may be having a hard time expelling and egg or lash material.

Work on hydration and see if she will eat some wet mushy feed. Do check her crop to make sure it's emptying overnight. If it's not, then address that symptom.

Update, still need help. So i dont think she's egg bound cause she still hasn't layed but is still alive. She just wants to sit in the coop laying down. She looks alert kinda chirping. She has diarrhea but still not eating or drinking much. Ive had to help her With both. What could be wrong???

After bring her out for some sun. I noticed shes limping. What could that be and how to fix. Sry new to chickens and we just dont know.

Check her crop to make sure it's emptying overnight. If possible, take a sample of her poop to your vet to have a fecal float, this will tell you if you need to treat for worms and/or Coccidiosis.

The limping, check her over for swelling, injury to the leg or foot.

We too have a limping, hobbling chicken. As @Wyorp Rock suggested to you, we have made multiple inspections of her leg, feet, toes --- cannot find any injuries, swelling or obvious reason for it. It's been about a week. She self rests as she needs to and is allowed to be a chicken roaming the yard. She acts and behaves normally in all other ways. They are free to come and go as they wish and she will frequently put herself back in the run or coop after brief outings for rest. I'm watching her closely. It's not getting worse so I'm hopeful it's just a sprain.

There's not much you can do for treatment that I'm aware of if you find no injuries on inspection. Hoping the best for your girl.
