old hen not looking good

[Aneury Sanchez]

I have a at least 7 year old hen she has been looking down the last couple days. She is losing weight and is having lime green poop, her crop has water but i don't feel any food. Is there anything i can do or is she just dying for being old ?

Do you know when she last laid? Can you post pictures of her poop? Have you ever wormed her, or had a fecal test done to look for internal parasites? Feel her abdomen, below the vent, between the legs, is there any bloat, either water balloon like or very firm?

Sadly, she passed in her sleep, but she got to live a good seven years on a sunny Caribbean Island. I wish I had kept some daughters from her, but she is survived by her 2 half-sisters that hatched at the same time and are still with me.

Sorry for your loss. Many of us have lost hens at that age. Glad that she is not suffering. Reproductive problems and cancer are common in older hens.
