help! Weak Hen leaking brown liquid from her vent and beak

[LoveFluffyButts]

We found her in a nesting box full of liquid and her very weak with both eyes closed. She is still leaking from her beak and is very weak. Any help is appreciated. She is a barred rock ~2 years

When was the last time she laid an egg and has she got a poopy bum ?

 

[LoveFluffyButts]

She has been laying regularly so probably yesterday or the day before. She does have some poop around her vent

She might be becoming of age , at 2 they can stop laying eggs .

She is extremely weak and leaking a brown liquid from her beak and vent, I don’t think that would be this extreme

Ok she could have a sour crop that’s basically an overflow in her body

I agree could be sour crop. Smell her breath. Sour crop can be fatal. If her breath isn’t normal and smells sour it’s probably sour crop. I treated one successfully with plan coke (not diet) with an eye dropper. A breeder told me that. I guess it neutralizes the sour. But, if I get another one I will make a steril small cut in the crop and pull out the garbage. youtube has videos on how to do that.

PS she looks too weak for the coke solution.

Would she also be leaking from her vent? It dies

It’s too late. We lost her
