Did her crop empty overnight? Check it before she eats or drinks. If it is full and hard in the am, then it may still be impacted. Do you have Pouktry granite grit available for your chickens? The dark spot on her leg could be a bruise from a peck. Her comb looks like she may have run into some metal fencing or chickenwire. Is she being bullied or chased? Can you try offering her a small amount of mushy wet chicken feed and cooked egg, but no whole grains or greens? Make sure that she is drinking plenty of water.

no her crop does not empty overnight I check first thing. We do not have granite grit but can go get some! Ok thats good to know about the dark spot. Her crop has always been that way since she was a chick Im not sure if its a deformity or hereditary maybe. One of our hens bullies her right now they are seperated so she doesn’t have to deal with the bully. Ive offered her a scrambled egg again and again, she ate one last Sunday but refuses to eat any more egg she also completly refuses mushy chicken feed (pellets that I add water to) I will read the article thank you!

in the article it talked about massaging the crop upward! I had thought I was supposed to massage downward because going upward could cause vomitting? When I massage her crop it loudly gurgles (amazing how loud it can be) as it empties. She usually seems to like the crop massage but just today seems to find it painful and is not such a fan of it
