I have a four year old americana chicken. About one or two weeks ago I noticed it looked like she was acting weird her back end was pulsing and she was laying down alot. I think she may have had a minor prolapse, but I gave her a few Epsom salt bath and separated her for a few days and she was fine. It looks like she's walking low to the ground but, I seen her drink some water.She also has a poopy butt. anyone know what could be wrong with her?
 
We can guess, but not tell you for sure. Possibilities are egg binding, collapsed egg inside, cancer tumors causing obstruction in the oviduct.

The best treatment for this would be giving calcium citrate tablets to increase blood calcium. One of these directly in the beak once a day until eggs are coming out normal. If it's cancer, nothing will help.
