one of my chickens (almorrana)

[billyboy1111]

Put back in indoor cage as I found her somewhat out of sorts...a bit of ammonia smell from her backside so from 70% healed she's now at about 50%. Maybe I put her out with the others too soon I'm guessing.
For now she's indoors, no chest distension as before, drinking lots of water but no food yet as I have to work out what I'll feed her. I've noticed that quite frequently her backside feathers will go down as if she's going to poop but nothing, even though her poop is better than the last time I separated her. All in all not as bad as last time but not healed either.
Tips appreciated.

Can you feel inside her vent for an egg?

The smell is concerning for sure. Even though the crop is emptying overnight, she may still have sour crop or some type of crop issue that is symptomatic of an underlying condition.
How does her breath smell?

It may be worth treating her for sour crop - you can use vaginal yeast cream if you have that.
It may be hard to find since supplies are scarce right now, so treating her may be a challenge.
Do the best you can. If you don't have or can't get any yeast cream, then if she were mine I would put Apple Cider Vinegar in her water at a rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.

Does she have a discharge coming from her vent?

Didn't feel any egg but did massage a bit of coconut oil in her insides just in case. Also have put two drops of apple cider vinegar in her water which should also help. Got my fingers crossed. Thx a ton.

I hope she starts to improve.

Me too but these things can go either way. At least I'm trying which is all I can do.

Well she's gone. And I don't even know what caused it...my guess is she had more than one condition going on. I do want to thank everyone here for their time and help.
Without that help my other chicken (which seemed a lot worse than this one) wouldn't have healed. That one miraculously survived and this one that I thought would recover didn't.
At least we tried.

I'm very sorry that you lost her.
