She's not responsive??? help please

[Forestine]

When did she last lay an egg?

Feel of her abdomen below the vent between her legs - is there any bloat/swelling or fluid?
Picking her up and her wheezing, I would suggest being careful doing that. Sounds like she may have some fluid in the abdomen.
I would check her crop to make sure it's emptying overnight.

If the poop looks eggy she may have had soft shelled membrane collapse and leak egg.
Hard to know exactly what's going on.

I would just make sure she's getting fluids. Don't stress her too much about food. If she wants to be with her flock and is not getting picked on let her out and just observe behavior.

She last laid an egg this morning and ill check on her bloating again in case i missed it
i've bothered her alot so i might bring all the girls in soon to see if i should isolate her by how they react to her


update most girls ignored her and shes drinnking water though im unable to tell if theres any bloating but she does seem to not like being prodded and felt down there so she might have something down there by her vent and under

Try to stick your finger about a half inch into her vent. Do you feel an egg? She may be eggbound.

I've never checked how to see that, in the morning if I see there's only three eggs I think she might be is eggbound where an egg is stuck or isn't developing because I believe of developing egg may have just burst or broken and it may be stuck and that's why she isn't really moving?

The position she is in looks like she may be eggbound. I have a lot of high production birds like her, and eggbound birds are not rare for me. Mine usually pass it on their own, but sometimes I will help them out. Do you offer oyster shells to them for a source of calcium? You can soak her lower half of her body in a warm water bath. If you have plain Epsom salts on hand, you can add some to the water. Make sure to make the water cover her vent, even if you have to hold her back half of her body down. Try to keep her in a quiet, dark space afterwards. Hopefully she recovers soon!!

Tomorrow morning I will check if she continues to need help but I do offer them crushed eggshells as a source of calcium though I'll increase that to not let this happen to any of the other chickens. If she still needs a bath I will do what you recommend

Out of curiosity, what kind of feed are you giving your birds? Layer feed is a good source of nutrition and calcium for laying hens. We give our hens that are in the coop layer feed, and offer some egg shells on the side. With our free ranged flock, we give them all flock (because we have a Rooster, and learned the hard way that Roosters are not meant to consume layer feed) and we throw egg shells out in the yard.
We lost our beloved Polish Hen to a stuck egg. We gave her starter feed without knowing the consequences, hence why she had problems. I have learned that chickens can be very sensitive to what they eat.
Also, what was the condition of the last egg she laid? If the shell was very thin / weak, she most defiantly needs some more calcium.
Praying for your beautiful bird!

I feed them layer feed for small birds from tsc, she didn't lay an egg today so I'll up the calcium for the girls to keep em healthy

How about the most recent egg she has laid? Even from a few days ago perhaps?

The eggs I noticed the shells being a bit weak so I think it's just a simple calcium fix. Since all four lay in the same box is hard to tell whose eggs are whose

I would imagine that is probably the case. Just give them the option to get some extra calcium. If she is dealing with a stuck egg, keep an eye on her. I have been told that a hen that is egg bound once is more prone to being egg bound again. Best wishes!
