Please Help!! Anyone? Hen not pooping at all. Not broody

[Hensii]

Hmmm I would definitely check her vent

Could she have kidney failure if she's not pooping at all? Her vent looks clear at least

Have you tried giving her sugar water to maybe perk her up at least or electrolytes?

Is her vent extremely dry can you tell. Her being old she could just not have the muscles to push it out if dry.

She already is active and eating a little. I'm giving her vitamin water

You can just usally tell if its dry...I guess maybe you cant...but my chickens are forever sticking the but in my face just like my cats lol....what I would do is very carefully put you finger up to see if its dry or theres anything stuck. With a rubber glove. I would later you hand or finger with vaseline and it should help push or slip things out if that's the problem or maybe you will find the problem. Is her abdomen hard or anything?

I had a chicken that was 8 and every month torward her last years I had to vaseline her vent so that way thing would slide out or it would help her since she would struggle

I would definitely give her a warm bath with ebsom salt in the morning. After you go to the store.

Will epsom salt help her poop even if she's not egg bound?
