Red sex links, old or ill?

Can you move her to somewhere warm and quiet?
See if she will take a bit of water if you hold a cup to her beak.
I sounds like she has a crop issue, but often that is a symptom of something else going on like reproductive issues, worms and infection.

Yes she is I just put her outside in a fenced in area, covered, we have lots of hawks. We also had a sparrow issue, building nests in the coop. I dusted the flock and areas, could this be a mite issue?

I am so sorry that your birds are sick. I wish I could give advice but I have never seen a comb or poop like that. Is the crop empty or full?

Empty from what I can tell, I’m rather new at illnesses with our girls

 

[Katies Corner]

The rest of the girls

Empty

I see no evidence of blackening combs. How about a photo of that?

The description of the hen struggling to stand indicates to me a possible toxic poisoning. Insecticides? Any machines leaking fluids onto the soil where the chickens hang out? How about a compost pile where spoiled food has been tossed, last night or last year?

You mention that you are having issues with 3 of your reds (what are the issues?), but it's affecting the BO's.
Are ALL of them having combs turning black.
ALL are having yolky poop?

I'm sorry your BO does not look well at all. Where are you located in the world?
Photos of poop may be helpful.

Let us know what her crop feels like, if she has a sour smell to her breath. Any lesions, sores or canker inside the beak. Feel her abdomen for bloat/swelling or fluid. When is the last time she laid an egg?

Sorry for all the questions, but trying to gather more info - if ALL are like this, then think about whether they got into something rotten or toxic.

Have you wormed your flock - do you have a vet that can run a fecal float to look for worms?

No don’t have a local vet, or wormed them

No they are in a 6’ fenced area where they have about a 70x40 area to run

Pictures of the flock, well the ones that like pictures taken lol

If there are no crop issues I am inclined to say possibly worms or an insecticide/ingestion of posin issue too. I hope someone else has better ideas than me. I wish I could be more help.

I’m not sure how if they could have gotten poison, they are pretty protected. They are inside a pole barn at night in their “red barn coop”. And in a fenced in yard during the day. I think I will search for a vet maybe close to us.
Thanks all for your help, you’ve been a great encouragement to
Katie’s Corner, a future day camp for individuals with special needs.
