She was fine saterday. Monday she was just standing still. I brought her in my house today. Her crop is empty. Her poop is white like milk & diarrhea. I gave her some scramble eggs an electrolyte. Does anyone have any suggestions.
 
How old is your hen, and is she laying eggs? Did she feel like she has lost weight when you pick her up and feel her breastbone? Did she eat the eggs or other food?
 
She just a year old. She hasn't laid any eggs yet. It's a polish crested chicken. She didn't eat I had to force her to eat. Saturday she was inside my chicken feeder eating an acting normal. I have her in my house she is just standing not moving. Also awake not falling asleep.
 
Check inside her vent with a lubricated finger (wear rubber glove if you have it) for a stuck egg. Chickens at this age could still get coccidiosis if they have moved to a new yard, or a new chicken has come into the flock. Cocci is treated with Corid (amprollium) a cattle medicine from the feed store. Since this behavior can be from many things, check her for lice and mites especially under the vent. Is it possible that she swallowed something that has gotten stuck in her gizzard? Does her comb look normal to you?
 
Her comb is normal no paleness. Haven't introduce any new chickens. I checked for an egg stuck an no eggs. I have yet to get an egg out of her. I gave her some antibiotics. Just don't wanna lose her.
