What have you been feeding this whole time she hasn't laid?
View attachment 1731116 View attachment 1731117 I started corid after seeing it in this forum. She has been fine up until 4 days ago and has not laid a egg in two years and has been fine. Her poop is clear water. I felt her she don’t seem to be hard or anything. She does have poop stuck to her butt now though. She did make it out of the coop and laying in the sun today
Would she have internal laying after not laying for 2 years? She has never been ill since we got her as a chick. Donthey start laying again after 2 years of now laying. I got a pic of her poop sorry not the greatest. I don’t see any mites or anything on her. She still drinking for me and wants to eat just fine. Just acts like she is drunk when she walks. And is slow moving thank you all so much for trying to help
Aww, the poor girl, she looks very uncomfortable.How would she have lived for two years? If she was laying eggs internally that can happen?
The same chicken feed crumble she has always had.When she stopped laying eggs, she may have started laying internally, where the eggs can be deposited up into the abdomen. This explains what happens:

I have no idea what that isAww, the poor girl, she looks very uncomfortable.
There are several common reproductive disorders that hens can have so yes, she could live for a few years without having too many difficulties depending on what's ailing her.
Eggcessive provided you with some good information that tell about the different conditions that affect hens.
Her acting like she's drunk when she's trying to walk, I would suspect it's a balance issue because of discomfort.
In the photo of your poop - that little roundish "thing" what is that - a seed or something else?

That doesn't tell me what the protein % and calcium % of that feed she has always had is.The same chicken feed crumble she has always had.
I've found in mine atleast, a crop issue is a symptom of something else going on. The penguin stance she has, ime, is due to a reproductive problem. Whether it's Internal Laying, Egg Yolk Peritonitis, cancer, etc. you just don't know which one it is until they pass on and you have a look inside (necropsy).She is now having some regular poop along with some watery ones still. I tried to check her crop this am it seemed a little squishy. Could this be the issue? She still drinks and eats fine I did take her food away now this am and I have been giving her yogurt daily. Will this make her walk like a penguin and be justnit herself? Although she still eats thinking about taking her to the vet if I can find one. But she is better then she was 4 days ago
