Hen not eating or drinking or able to walk well

I may do that tomorrow. I just wish I knew what I was looking for.

You will likely know it when you see it. For example, white nodules on organs are tumors. A larger than normal liver also means tumors. A lot of yellow fat deposits on surfaces has implications, and what you find inside the crop and gizzard may surprise you. What appears to be cooked egg in the reproductive track is a diagnosis of one of her illnesses, if not the cause of death. If you find a fully formed egg stuck inside, ruptured or intact, she likely died from that.

Please tell us where you're located. It's information that affects practically every question and answer on this forum.

If her crop was empty when you checked it first thing in the morning, it's unlikely she has a crop disorder causing her to feel unwell.

If she's losing lots of feathers, actively falling out like so many feathers from a torn open pillow, she very well could be molting if it's fall where you live.

Molt can make some chickens feel very unwell, lose their appetite, become weak and lethargic. I'm specially feeding four such hens currently. If this is the cause of your hen's weakness, you're definitely on the right track feeding egg, yogurt, Nutri-drench and probiotics. Other forms of high protein food can include canned mackerel and tofu.

There's always a chance of something more serious going on. Try the special feedings for now and see if that perks her up. If she continues to decline, we need to examine other possibilities such as a reproductive disorder or an infection.

I live in northern Michigan.
Thanks for all of your helpful knowledge! I'll get some canned mackerel today and hopefully that'll get her appetite going. And yeah definitely like a torn pillow so many feathers. I'll keep up the nutridrench and probiotics thanks again for taking the time to give this information I really appreciate it!
