My Rhode Island Red is not herself but not sure what’s wrong. She hasn’t been laying and has a poopy but which appeared greenish. I gave her some Ivermectin and an epsom salt soak. Tried giving her favorite snack blueberries but she’s not eating. Shes walking around but slowly. Any advice?
 
Age? Diet? Has she laid recently? What's her crop feel like?
What was the ivermectin for?
She’s about 2 years old and normally my best layer (like every day without fail) but hasn’t been laying for a good 3 weeks except she did lay a Fairy Egg a week ago. Her crop feels soft and it’s not empty. I separated her from the others to better see how she’s eating and drinking…plus she gets bullied a lot. The ivermectin is supposedly a wonder drug for worms, parasites & more so we gave her that to see if it helps.

It sounds like maybe a reproductive issue.
