Hi! I have a Partridge Barred Rock hen who's a little over a year old. She's been in excellent health until just recently. A few days ago I noticed she wasn't moving around or foraging as much: Hiding under the coop, inside the coop, or generally either standing still or laying on the ground. I felt her crop, but all seemed normal. Checked her vent with a gloved finger for an egg - no luck. I separated her from my other hens yesterday. She hardly moved when I tried to catch her, and she laid on the ground after I put her down Anyway, she has food and water in her box that I have inside for her, as well as some yoghurt and scrambled egg I was trying to entice her with. She's eating a bit, but not much. I've had her in her box since about noon yesterday, checked on her several times yesterday and before bed, and went out this morning to check on her and she had not pooed at all. She also has bot laid yet. I started talking to her and that's when she stood a bit and pooped. It literally squirted out - you could hear it. Then it stunk quite a bit. Not pleasant in the least. It's not really yellowish, more greenish brown, so it didn't seem like diarrhea, but it's fairly runny. Any ideas about what could be going on with her? I've only had my little flock of 5 hens for a little over a year and have never had any illness, so I don't exactly know what to do. Any advice or help would be appreciated!
