Sick chicken

[Lilybugchick]

Yesterday my 8 month old hen isn't acting like he self. She came out of the coop and stayed by herself most the day yesterday. Tail and head down. I don’t think she has been laying because I haven’t seen an egg of her color. There was a yolk on the poop board but no she’ll, only a piece of a real soft shell.Im sure this was hers as everyone else laid. Her crop was also full. I gave her an Epson salt bath and feed her some olive oil in a syringe. She had a few bites of scrambled eggs. But is drinking water. This morning this was her poop. The pictures are in pine shaving so hard to see. Her poop is bright green in the coop and kind of like egg whites. The poop on the hardwood floor was her last poop just a few minutes ago. It’s not as green and her crop was almost completely empty this morning.

Can you give her some calcium? If there was soft egg, it most likely was from her.

Yes I will try.

Her tail is down in the picture, and since you have found some egg contents, she may be experiencing a reproductive disorder. I agree that a human calcium tablet with vitamin D or a Tums may help her. Give it daily for up to a week. Is her crop enlarged to you in the picture? Is she eating and drinking today? Her dark green poop looks like she is not eating. Mushy wet chicken feed and cooked egg would be good to offer after the calcium.

I made her scrambled eggs she took a couple bites, she drinking water but not eating much. Had a few bites of banana. Her crop this morning was almost empty it was not swishy. I’ll try more food options tomorrow. Thank you!

How's she doing? We have one like this now that we aren't sure if she is laying, but standing in a similar position.

I’m not sure what it was but I gave her, her food in a mash mixed in olive oil in a syringe and mashed banana and she woke up day three with her tail up and perky ready to eat. She still had runny poop but I continued to give her a couple tablespoons plain yogurt mixed with calcium in her food in the house so I know she eating it. Last night her poop was soft today it was normal. I’m not sure if she’s laying as I have not seen her in a nesting box. She foraging and acting normal.
