hi i have 4 hens 1 x skyline 1 beechwood blue 2 x rhode rocks

they are all young about 20weeks old I am getting three eggs a day
I notice yesterday that 1 of my rhode rocks is not her self puff up and her tail is dropped
does any body know whats up ?
I was thinking egg bound but I have felt above her vent no lump so not sure I have pic












 
Have you done an internal exam? You may be able to feel an egg further up the vent. Is she one that is laying? She may be trying to pass a soft-shelled egg which is very difficult and not unheard of in new layers.

If none of these seem to be the problem then cocci would be my second guess.
 
Maybe, maybe not. How much food? The crop should be nearly empty, but sometimes doesn't empty completely overnight.
 
hi I messaged her crop this morning and put some soda in her water this afternoon i gave yogurt
she looks a bit brighter here is hoping in the morning
thanks for your help
I let you know what she like
