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

[Lenny loves chickens]

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

It would relax her muscles and help maybe move things I cant say it would work a 100 percent but it should or could help. And plastic could work

Hen has not pooped for the past day! She's not broody either. She's eating less but still drinks a lot. Very active in the morning.

For the past few days she's been shaking her head frequently if that has anything to do with it. Currently, it's night and she's sleeping. She sometimes shivers and puffs up her feathers. She's also been losing several feathers recently. (not moulting)

What could be the reason? Where is all the food and water going?

A week or two ago but she's nearly 4 so she rarely lays them

Crop feels normal, mostly empty enough. Not sure where exactly the abdomen is but she looks normal. We give her bird pellets daily with the occasional rice/tomato/yogurt/ vitamin supplements. We've given her that since birth though.

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

Please post some photos of her and her poop.

She's active and eating...
If she's active and eating, she's going to poop at some point unless her vent is blocked. Does she seem to be in distress?

Any lice or mites?

I would not soak or bath her if she's active and eating.

No photos of poop, since there aren't any. Doesn't seem to be in distress. Honestly, I think she's just pecking at her food, not eating much. No lice or mites.

Would bathing her be dangerous if she's active ?

Do you have photos?

Not dangerous, just unnecessary.

She pooped a small amount of green mushy poop and now she's enthusiastically eating the yogurt I gave. Still active and no other poops.

Update- a day later she pooped a small amount of green mushy poop. That's it so far.

Anyone has any idea what the problem is? I just lubricated her vent. Please help.
