I have a two year old black sex link hen, Verna. Yesterday, we noticed that she was walking most unusual. She walks one foot very slowly at a time and as if her stomach weighs alot. She stands like and owl, not like a hen. She is swollen everywhere but her face. Her stomach has two very large lumps stretching the skin. She drinks an abnormal amount of water. She will just drink and drink and drink with out stopping and then poop out water. She eats and poops normally. We have her inside as it is very cold, and she pecks around in the hay in her box. What do I do? What is wrong with her? I have dealt with a couple cases of eggbound but she is not acting like any of the other eggbound hens.
