I cant figure out whats wrong with my chicken

The calcium citrate with D 300 mg up to 600 mg is fine, and could help her lay if she is egg bound. What is the temperature there? Do you have good ventilation and enough nest boxes? I would offer her a small cup of mushy wet chicken feed and a little more egg to her beak. Check her crop first thing at daylight before she eats or drinks to see if her crop has emptied overnight. Is she interacting some with the other chickens today? What do her poops look like?

She is inside in a "hospice pen" I call it, has been for 3 days, Its 70 degrees and cool.I offered her more eggs with shells, she looked at it but didnt eat, she is really drinking though. Her poops are soild and dark green.
 
How is she doing today? Was her crop empty in the morning?

Are her poops full poops or normal sized?
My pullet's poops were inconsistent and some were just smaller mini poops right before she pushed out her eggs. They were also green from not eating enough.

I don't know where you are located or if you have a local Walmart but in case you don't already have some this is what I use when the girls seem to have troubles that might be related to laying. It is a good price.

Other brands with the same ingredients for humans is ok. Some use tums but even though I have those I worry about the flavors cause I am a nut with sensitivities to common artificial sweeteners that may be in some of the Tums products.


Whatever is wrong I really hope she is getting better or you find something that helps.

She is pretty much the same, I did get the calcium and gave her some. Her poops are normal but she is not having very much because she is not eating. After doing a bit more research, I am learning more towards a heart issue.
