Sick or what

[joroster]

I have a 2.5 year old red ranger hen that has stopped eating and is very lethargic. I can get her to drink a little but she is vomiting. I tried to feel for a stuck egg but I have no idea what it would feel like and when I hang her to check she just continuously vomits. Any ideas?

 

[joroster]

Also she smells

poor thing...
you are hanging her upside down?
WHAT?

 

[Little Fuzzy]

Sounds like sour croup. Is her croup impacted?

 

[Chickquail army]

Any symptoms like that sounds horrible! You should take her straight to the vet asap!

 

[joroster]

Ya know holding her to check her I was afraid she would choke if I laid her on her back to check her underside

 

[joroster]

Vets around me are terrible and they told me to keep an eye on her that's all they wouldn't even see her

Smell from her mouth? Or other end ?

Hold her under your arm like a football with her butt facing you to feel for an egg

 

[joroster]

Both she just smells sick... I'm thinking sour crop. I'm going to try to fix it tomorrow.

So I've emptied her crop several times today and it keeps filling back up w green stuff... she isn't eating just some apple cider vinegar water... and by some I mean maybe 2 or 3 sips... her crop feels like it has 2 large stones in it but I'm afraid to squeeze them... and I've tried the oil but all it did was give her diarrhea. I think I'm fighting a losing battle. Is the vomit supposed to smell like fermented food or sickness
