Hen not walking help please

[Eleni12]

One of my girls has slowed down the past 3-4 days and is now not walking. She is still eating some, not as much. When in the yard she would sit and eat grass. ( I think this is why some of her poop is green?) I gave her an epsom salt bath and also checked to see if i felt an egg. ( checked about 2 inches in) She has not laid in probable 2 weeks. ( my other girls are molting and also not laying) She is molting some on her legs.. no sign of a injured leg or foot. Her wattle is still bright red and very alert. When she stands she is sort of bent over a little like not comfortable. Please comment on what else i can do to help her! I ordered some probiotics and cocciaid just in case.

Do you have photos of her, her legs and her poop?

If she's not laid an egg, the I'd give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week to see if she's able to expel an egg or lash material.

Check her for lice/mites and see that her crop is emptying.

See if you can get her hydrated, then offer some wet mushy feed.

How old is she? If you can get a video and post a link on youtube and share the link here of her, it would help a lot! Add good poop pictures too. Hopefully the more experienced people can narrow down the reasons and she can be back up again!

I do not see any sign of mites in her crop is squishy. I feel a little bit of food. It’s definitely not hard.

When was her last egg? I would suspect that she has a reproductive disorder that is making it difficult to walk. I would trim off any poop under her vent and wash her off. Flystrike where flies lay maggot larvae on skin around droppings or wounds, can be deadly in hot weather. Consider worming her with SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 1.25 ml orally for 5 consecutive days. Offer some scrambled egg and wet chicken feed twice a day. Feel of her crop early morning before she eats or drinks to make sure that her crop is emptying overnight. Crop problems can occur at the same time as reproductive problems. Feel of her lower abdomen under her vent for any enlargement.
