PLEASE HELP

[Mar_ducks]

Chicken is acting lethargic this morning, didn’t want to come out of the coop and uninterested in eating. She’s also hanging out by herself only. Got her to take a couple sips of water but that’s it.
Her vent looks clean but she seems to kind of be pulsating it? I attached a picture of her droppings. The white part of the droppings is gelatinous? Almost like egg white consistency.
I have no idea if she’s laid an egg or not within the last day as I have 8 layers currently.
Please advise!!!!

Hello sorry to hear about your chicken. How is she doing now? How old and what breed is she?

Can you give her some human calcium citrate plus d3 vitamin? Anywhere between 300-600mg. Just incase she is egg bound this will help her with laying.

How was her crop this morning? It should be flat first thing in the morning.

How does her abdomen feel? Check in between her legs sort of under her vent. Is it bulgy, like a water balloon? That could indicate reproductive issues making her feel bad. Those can be tough to diagnose and treat. Check and let us know.

I agree. It sounds like a possible reproductive problem. The calcium is a good idea. Make sure that she eats and drinks. You may want to observe her closely for the next couple of days to look for egg problems and to note her droppings. Post any pictures to help. Have you seen any soft or shell less eggs recently?
