so i have been dealing with this very strange situation, Yesterday I noticed my hen was in a squat curled position and her cone was blueish very blueish and her beak as well! So we picked her up and my friend said " she is filled with water!! look at her crop" , so i picked her up, and I kid you not, the size of an apple or bigger filled all of water! He opened her beak and put her head down and squeezed all (or what we thought all water out)! it was like grayish in color! not smelly at all! anyways this keeps happening all day today it keeps filling up to that size! she also seems to have a bit of fluid were her eggs should be ??? poor chicken! I isolated her and giving her garlic water and hoping to get some advice because i just love this hen ! is it water belly ? or is it that she has a blocked crop that causes bacteria? were is all this water coming from? thx for your help!
