Sick hen

[Stinkypete10]

My 1yr old cream legbar is not eating or walking around. She is just standing in one spot. Not sure what could be wrong with her. She has had poopy butt problems for a while now, I wash her and trim her feathers but her vent looks normal, not red or irritated. Not smelly or yellow so I didn’t know if it could be vent gleet or not.
No mites or lice that I can see. Her eggs have been misshapen for about a week, but other than those things she has been fine until this morning.

When was her last egg? She could be having issues laying a shell-less egg or something.

She laid yesterday, it was thin and cracked on the end, but whole.

She laid yesterday. It was thin and cracked when we found it but she has laid everyday.

Okay. I'd get some calcium citrate +D3, with at least 500mg of calcium and give it once a day for a week or so to help her with eggs.

Ok. Thanks. Could a deficiency cause her not eating/drinking?

Possibly. What's her diet?
But having trouble laying an egg will cause them to be lethargic.

Just layer feed and occasionally black soldier fly larvae and veggies as treats.

Sounds good to me! I don't think she has a deficiency.
