Please help

[carla1982]

I am new to having chickens and I need help desperately. One of my hens is a blue australop and was laying eggs daily, now she has stopped laying. It's been at least 3 to 4 weeks. And she also has bright green poop. I noticed also that her tail feathers aren't pointing up anymore. She is eating and drinking still. Please help with what I need to do

Age? Diet? Crop feel? Habe you felt between her legs for squishy areas?

How old is she? Is her crop emptying overnight? Can you post a picture of her and her poop? How is her comb color? Can you try to get her eating some moistened chicken feed and scrambled egg, and offer some fluids? Reproductive disorders can cause some of those symptoms.

She is around 8 months. I have felt and didn't notice anything. Today she laid what I found is called a fairy egg

I will get pics tomorrow. Her comb color looks normal to me. Not pale. And I got a fairy egg tonight from her. She is eating and drinking still. I also gave her something my silkie breeder told me to have on hand. It's in a white bottle and very dark. It has a dropper you can give orally or in water.

I have a blue australop that has been laying eggs for a few months now. She recently stopped laying and has had bright green poop. Somewhat runny. She hasn't laid a egg in prob 3 to 4 weeks. Tonight I went to get eggs and had a small egg that I researched and it's called a "fairy egg". What is going on? Please help me. I am new to this and oy have 2 hens that are laying and need the eggs for my family

Can you post a picture of her poop?
Is she eating and drinking like normal?
Has her behavior changed?
