That poop does not look normal

Do you have any idea of what sickness she might have?

I tried giving her crushed advil mixed in water today.

I’m not sure. It just looks so weird. An egg didn’t break inside her, nor is she egg bound?

Her abdomen feels squishier compared to a normal hen

When did she lay the last egg?

When did she lay the last egg?

The last time she laid an egg was 4 days ago. 2 days before she got sick.

@azygous could you help here? i'm not so sure

Does she have any swelling around her face?

Does she have bubbles in her eyes?

Look into her mouth. Do you see any sticky, gummy stuff?

If she has none of those, she probably doesn't have a respiratory infection.

Does she have a thin fluid dripping from her vent?

Do you feel any hardness just below her vent that feels like an egg?

I suggest you give her a calcium tablet, whole, each day until this resolves. She may have a soft egg stuck inside. Keep her on warm, moist heat. Soaks are stressful, so a damp towel with a heating pad under it is what I suggest.

Offer her plenty of cool water. Advil isn't good to give chickens. Chewable aspirin 81 grain is what you give chickens for pain, but hold off on that for now.
