Hello all, while at work my mother texted me saying one of my hens was sick, so far she’s noticed she:
• has been eating/drinking very little
• crop is soft
• has been in both nesting areas but no egg
• and was panting/sitting or laying somewhere alone

she gave her a warm bath in case she was egg bound but when she moved up to help her lay yellowish liquid with poop came out instead

after the hen was still singing and making small sounds but besides that walking very slow and going back to the coop to just stand in there

I just got off work what could this possibly be?

How is she now? I want to say that was what an egg was supposed to be, but something happened and the shell just never formed. It could also be a bacterial infection in her gut. I remember a couple times my chickens have pooped really frothy yellow poop, but not slimy or liquidy like that.
