Is my chicken constipated? What’s wrong with her?

Am familiar with ENC.
Then add it to your profile

One of the best chickeenering tools I have!

Not sure how to add it to my profile.

she’s drinking some water today. I just had to fill up the container for the first time. I’m going to go check her vent in a bit.

The way she looks to be standing, sort of legs wide apart, she may have ascites (water belly) or a reproductive disorder. Those are both common in hens over 2-3 years old.

Ascites?

Here’s her poop.

Still waiting for some help. I have her outside right now and she’s walking around, but she loses her balance and uses her wings to walk around. Here’s her poop again. It oozed out yellowish.

Ascites?

Also known as 'water belly'.

Did you isolate her to monitor eating drinking and pooping?
Hard to tell what those poops are with the ground detritus.
Reference my crate set up in previous posts.

The yellow droppings could be associated with ascites from liver failure or from a reporductive infection/condition that also can cause liver problems. Those are very common in hens. Reproductive issues can cause pressure inside the abdomen, which can slow down the digestion, intestines, and crop.

Is she eating any better? I would offer some chopped scrambles egg and her usual feed daily. If she does not eat egg, then try a little ground meat or tuna in small amounts. A teaspoonful of cold coconut oil cut into tiny pieces can be offered to help lubricate her to help pass some droppings.

Could it be egg yolk peritonitis?

Yes I stated I isolated her in a previous comment and in the OP. I’ll read about that.

I will offer that immediately. Here’s a better picture of her stool. I can’t believe I didn’t think about laxative... I will try the coconut oil, and feed her some scrambled egg. She doesn’t seem very interested in eating.
