Help!!!Year old hen wont eat and lose balance.

I am so sorry to hear this I was hoping she would come around.

Hopefully I wake up and shes back to normal. But I feel bad because I know she is suffering, so I just want her to pass overnight peacefully or get better. I will consider doing a necropsy. Thank you for all the help for this past week @Eggcessive and @katiegirl0225, it means alot.

Thinking of you and your sweet hen this morning.

Well shes still alive, when I went out there she moved across her whole kennel (dog kennel) And I fed her and gave her water so hopefully she makes an improvment since she can move around a little bit. Thank you for thinking of us

Glad she is still alive and with you.

Well I decided to break her neck and end her suffering. We buried her and didnt get a necropsy. But now I think one of my chickens has sour crop. I've been puking her and making sure she doesnt aspirate or whatever it's called but today when i puked her it came out her eyes and nose. I put her back down and wiped it off and she seems fine. Her crop feels like it's full of water. Any idea what to do? @katiegirl0225 @Eggcessive

Thank you very muchDo you have any idea if it's ok if my chickens stuff in her crop it's like water, comes out her eyes and nose when I puke her?

So sorry for your loss. Sorry about your hen with the crop problem. Making a chicken vomit is dangerous and sometimes if the crop contents can cause them to choke to death. I would probably start a new thread about the hen with sour crop. Here is a good thread about sour crop:

No, it is not normal, especially the EYES. The eyes are in no way hooked up to the throat. Something is very wrong with that bird.

The crop contents could go up through the choanal slit up into the sinuses and out of the eye sockets, I suppose.
