Hello everyone.
I am just wondering if you could help me?
A week or so ago I noticed one of my hens had become more lethargic and was excluding herself from the other two, she would often sit on a step her neck down and feathers propped up, sometimes asleep. At first I thought it may just be the sudden cold snap that was doing this.
Today I noticed she was sitting by the waterers just drinking occasionally but never moving. Curious I went out and felt her crop it was full of liquid with some but very little seed, I slowly massaged her crop for about 5 mins, then put her down she did a runny poop then slowly walked back to her water about 10 mins after that she walked out and stood next to my garden her neck still down, I went back out and massaged her crop again before putting her back in the coop with the others for the night.
Lately I have noticed runny poop under their perches as well.
I am really worried about her, I have attached a picture of her poop.
Please help.
