Pabting hen but not hot

[Sberrie]

My hen started acting weird yesterday. She's panting but it's 65 degrees, when she walks her whole body trembles. She spends most time laying down with wings out. She definitely presents as gotten to hot but I don't know how that's possible.

Try offering some scrambled egg and putting water into a small bowl of chicken pellets to soften them.

I have her in the medical coop now with multiple water and food spots. Will try a scrambled egg and some frozen fruits

Are you certain this was the diagnoses of the hen you lost previously? Ascites isn't something contagious, but birds ailing and dying with days can be coincidental, but also can be the beginning of an outbreak.

About 90% certain. No vets and no way to get an autopsy. But this one's symptoms are totally different than the others.

Sounds like Sour Crop, but do look inside her beak for any lesions/canker (yellow or white material).

Address the crop symptoms per the article below. Do see that she's able to reach water.
Often there's an underlying condition that causes the crop or digestive system to slow, a few common things are reproductive disorders, worms, coccidiosis and infection.

Just wanted to post one last update. This morning I made the extremely difficult decision to put her down. That was my first ive had to do. She could no long stand, move her head, or wings. I also found a new spot that looked like it was covered in maggots right above her vent, that was not there last night when I cleaned her up.

I'm sorry.

Do you have a picture of her? How warm is her coop? Is she overweight? Can you tell us if she has been eating and drinking normally? Does she lay eggs? Is her lower belly between the legs enlarged or fuller? What do the droppings look like?

I took a video but it won't let me post. She feels warm but no warmer than her flock mates. She's not overweight, actually has made a come back from a few months ago when she starved herself because she only wanted treats instead of food.
Not eating or drinking this morning. She doesn't appear to have ascites, just lost one of my older girls a couple days ago to that.
Haven't seen her lay but not surprisingly bc of the aforementioned issue. She has runny white droppings, that almost appear to just drain out.

She's not really interested in anything. She was atleast drinking
