Hello! This is Lola my hen she is 1 year old and she’s acting lethargic and not like herself. She was acting fine earlier in the day but started looking lethargic in the afternoon yesterday. I was hoping she’d feel better today but she’s still acting lethargic I checked her vent and felt it for an egg but nothing. Her crop is also a little full but isn’t really eating and drinking her self. Her poops also look a little off like yellowish greenish poop I’ll attach a picture does anyone have an idea what it could be?

Has she been having trouble laying eggs or soft shelled eggs?
What do you feed, including treats?
When was she last dewormed?

I'd start her on 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week.

See that she's drinking well and encourage her to eat. While you are tending to her, check for lice/mites.

She may have some reproductive troubles, it can be hard to know. Hopefully she'll be able to expel and egg or lash material.

Keep us posted on how she's doing.
