So my Barred Rock has been acting odd lately. She just stares and doesn’t do a whole lot. Super snuggly and sweet, but definitely acts off. Then I noticed that she spit up water. I felt beneath her breastbone and it feels like fluid in there! Is there anything I can do for her? She is less then a year old.

Sounds like she may have a crop disorder. Read this and see if anything matches your hen. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Thank you so much, will do!

Yes she definitely has sour crop! I massaged her to relieve the fluid. She is isolated with water. And I fed her some Greek yogurt. She has a very pale comb and wattle, I don’t know what else to do for her. I doubt she will live long enough for antibiotics! Any suggestions?

 

[Stacy35]

Yes she is very weak, definitely worse than yesterday. She hardly wants to move.

With the pale comb, she may be suffering from a reproductive infection such as EYP, peritonitis. This can cause sour crop, but there is little chance of an antibiotic helping the infection. You can try treating the sour crop and making her more comfortable, but it may keep coming back.

Oh no, will do. Thanks!

try giving her vinegar water(one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar for a gallon of water)you can also give it oregano oil or olive oil,you can also give her garlic.give her only garlic,oregano or olive oil and water for the first 24 hours then after that on day 2 give her Greek yogurt and garlic. on day 3 and 4 give her garlic and Greek yogurt mixed with scrambled eggs if she feels better start mixing her regular feed with the yogurt and egg.please treat her fast she will probably die if you don’t treat her fast.

How long has she been like that,I mean when did you realize she is sick??if it’s too late for natural treatment you should take her to the vet as soon as possible

That won't help a reproduction issue, unfortunately.
