This one is new to me. Almost 3yr old golden sex link. Her and a few others molted for the very first time. Feathers seem all back now. Very mild winter in south Texas. This one yesterday I did not see poop and she didn't talk. This morning she had no interest in scratch also no talking. Her butt looked dirty so I set up a warm Epsom soak & put the cage in a heated garage
She feels "full underneath" is the only way I can explain it. And she's heavier than normal. Did the 20min soak cleaned her back side. Made mash and she immediately ate it all( 1.5table spoons/ She preened them perched. She is making noise now but I've never seen poop? Like this. I just gave her a bit of meal worms and tried to get docusate on them & calcium. She ate most of the meal worms. Thoughts?

The yellow could be urates which are normally white, and this could indicate excess bile from a liver disorder related to reproductive problems, such as egg yolk peritonitis or fatty liver disease. I would try to get her drinking and offer some mushy wet chicken feed made fresh. Post more pictures of droppings later if you can.
