Sick Hen - 24 weeks old HELP!

[aoxa]

Could she be egg bound or sick? She hasn't laid any so far. 1 have 2 other hens, 1started laying 2 weeks ago and the other started 2 days ago.

 

It's possible she is egg bound, yes.

Does it look like she is straining to poop?

Is she eating greens? If so she could be over eating on those. You could give her a strict diet of a mix of layer pellets & chick mash. In her water just put in a splash of white vinegar. That always helps my chickens a bit! Hope she gets better soon!

My birds have access to all the greens they can stuff themselves with. They have never fallen ill because of that.

They can't free range, they are in their coop and an enclosure with sand. Enclosure is cleaned daily, coop weekly. DE in their food and pine shavings, once in a while I put lime in the sand. They eat layer pellets, a bowl of green daily (usually kale or dandelion greens), yogurt or cottage cheese a few times a week, and cracked corn as a treat.

Try taking out the Kale, see if there's a difference.

Still not better! She's not getting up and walking around. When I lift her to try and make her stand she doesn't put much effort into putting her feet down, If I get her to she kind of slowly lowers and leans to the side. Both wings are still droopy and she's not eating/only drinking if I put her beak in it. Very worried about her and concerned about the other 2 getting sick!
