Hello! I noticed one of our hens yesterday wasn't acting herself she didn't really want to move and when I opened the coop door to let them out in the yard she didn't act like she wanted to go out usually they are waiting and run out. So this morning I went out to feed them and give them water and she can walk but not further than she has to its like she is top heavy or something she acts like she is going to fall over. She acted like she was hungry and went to the scraps but didn't eat. So I read about egg bound hens and it said to soak her in warm water for 20 min. So I did that and when I let her out of the water she pooped some runny light green and white stuff. Then she managed to get back under the coop with the rest and tried to clean herself and when she would put her head down to clean herself she would start to fall over and she would catch herself with her wing. I seen later that I probably should've put epsom salts in the water. They are maybe 4 years old not sure exactly we got them grown from a friend. What can I do?? We feed them feed for laying hens. I have been putting probiotics in their water with a bit of sugar also dried worms. I need help on what could be wrong and what to do!!
