Hello all again, I was wrong about her shes not doing ok, shes worse than the other day. The previous day shes acting a bit more tired than usual and i thought she was just molting weird, but today shes acting lethargic, has no appetite no thirst for water and her crop felt hard. I smelled her breath and it smelled sour im not sure whats wrong with her. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

it sounds like she may be experiencing sour crop and/or a crop impaction. i've heard that OTC miconazole (monistat) has been used with success for treating sour crop, and coconut oil for crop impaction; i'm not sure if they can be taken together without affecting the action of miconazole. hopefully someone with more experience in these conditions can speak to this as i personally haven't treated this in my flock here's a relevant article that may be helpful: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

She looks a lot worse in the later pictures. Her comb looks blueish and floppy. She may be very dehydrated. Can you grab her and put her in a dog crate with food and water. First though, give her some water with electrolytes and vitamins, a dose of NutriDrench, Gatorade, or some water with a tsp of sugar and a small pinch of salt per cup. Offer some watery mushy chicken feed and a little cooked egg. How does her crop feel—empty and flat, full, firm, doughy, or squishy? It does sound like she may have sour crop which is usually large and squishy. What do you feed her? Does she normally lay eggs? A calcium tablet with D3 or a tums can be given if you think she might be trying to lay an egg. Here is a good article on crop problems:

Update: Goldies crop feels squishy and her breath doesnt smell sour anymore but shes really wobbly and her eyes are fully closed

I hope that she gets better soon. She needs some fluids. Don’t massage her crop when it is full and squishy since that can cause fluid to get into her airway. Get her some fluids and then get some Monistat or miconazole cream, and give her 1/2 inch of the cream into her beak twice a day.

Update: have her inside the house with liquids hopefully she starts drinking soon

Let us know how she gets along. Give her a calcium tablet or Tums if she seems to be trying to lay an egg.

Could you dribble some of the liquids on her beak so she drinks them?
