I have no idea what I am doing

I don't see much droopy look, but I still bet she's due to lay.

Jen was saying it could be several things but the egg seems more likely. I'm going to make a vet appointment for Saturday anyway just to play it safe. If this all goes away I can always cancel it

maybe Kathy can answer about the poop, but i agree it could be from the kale, the 2nd one looks yellowish and slimy though so not sure

did you get her weight?
keep an eye on her poops and see if they are different today when she is just eating her normal food

This is from this morning. It migh look odd because it's on the ice of the frozen pond. Looks better but I'd rather see a firm poop but this at least looks like she is drinking

Mike just noticed that there wasn't much oyster shell left. There was a bit on the ground but def looks like it's being eaten. He filled the cup and lucky ate a few pieces out of his hand. I just wish it was food although if she is eating the shell it could be another sign that she is ready to lay

If I give my chickens veggies and/or fruit, poop is runny. Hopefully it's not to worry.

Wondering if I should get her a couple of goldfish. She had a few on Sunday and loves them. I just don't want her to eat them if it's going to make it worse

My very uneducated opinion is that a few goldfish won't bother here, afterall, if she was with her mama she would be fishing for minnows... Goldfish aren't the most nutritious of fish, so I wouldn't give her a TON of them but I don't think you were planning to stuff her completely full of them for days on end, so she should be fine.
It will also make you feel better if you see her eat something, so I say go for it.

I actually made an appointment with a vet for 2:30 today. Id rather not wait for her to become very ill if it is anything. I'd rather go and see what they say to be on the safe side.

Let us know what they say, I've been checking in every hour or so for updates.
