Liver issues? Help quick

[ChickenLover1008848]

Im trying to get her to the vet today just incase (idk if I can) but I really hope it's not liver issues, she's 6 yrs
& 4 yrs diagnosed cancer, she gets monthly cancer treatment. She's suddenly yellow shows more when pale, she's red now with yellowing prolly bc I warmed her up. I'm a minor, I think there food maybe made them sick, its egg layer feed, they haven't laid eggs in years (2 chickens only both cancer no eggs), I googled it last night & found out it's very bad causes liver toxicity, I fed them a lot this week too since they were eating way more from cold, they have very low cold tolerance.



Extra
Her crop is very liquid, however with the feed it's always liquidy (crumble) AND liquid due too digestion issues since tumor in crop, vet diagnosed apple cider low dose & persistent crop checking with occasional Metoclopramide, however she's way more liquid then ever and sounds liquidy with swallows, no funky smell, it empties in the morning for the most part (tumor always holds a bit in there) but very odd, open mouth breathing sometimes, also a lot of swallowing some head shaking. She keeps acting weird and then acting normal. First two are newest pictures, third is most recent, last is older.

Hi, and welcome to BYC!

Sorry to hear about your hens. The liver toxicity you speak of, that's coming from the cancer medicine?

I think there food maybe made them sick, its egg layer feed

What layer feed do you feed them? Any treats? Usually typical layer feed with minimal treats or just healthy ones like scrambled eggs isn't going to make them sick, so maybe it's the medicine?

Do you have any chicken vitamins like drops for their water? Poultry Cell or Nutri-Drench are both good. Just be sure to only do that every other day so you don't overdo it or cause diarrhea.

What is the cancer medicine? That could be the cause of the crop issues. You could try giving some probiotics to help straighten out the digestive tract, as that could help the crop too.

Vet diagnosis came back (blood test)! No liver problems yet but high fat content said to diet change and monitoring! Thank you for the help, the food was southern natural feeds egg layer. There non egg laying so it probably had to much in there for them when I was younger I gave them alot of stratch too and they also used to have a fattier feed it probably built up overtime. I've done probiotics and stuff for the crop before she's just slow digesting since a tumor is in there, I think stress or sickness sometimes slows down her digestive as well, she's doing a bit better with the diet change so far and her crop is improving as well!
