Strange Acting Chicken!

[Kiki]

I will try to get a pic when it lighten ups. She has been eating well. They are all on an organic diet, with many treats. It is frequently in negative temps. I would rather not share where we live, but we barely get anything above 20. In the coop, we have a red heat lamp that turns off for an hour after two hours of being on. In the run, we put up clear, plastic tarps that we use to block out wind. We also have two heat lamp and a water heater.

Many treats cause overweightness which cause deadly infections to happen, easily, in the reproductive area of a chicken.

I highly recommend stopping giving your chickens daily treats.

Never bathe a sick chicken. Never.

Can you get pictures of fresh poop from this exact bird?

She does still lay, thankfully. She has a suspiciously large bump on her crop. We are going to try massaging it every day. Any other recommendations?

I do not think the chicken has sour crop or pendulous crop because she doesn't smell. I noticed a little blood on the bottom of her beak, but there was no active bleeding area. Please help!

I'm sorry I can not offer much help. Is she still eating and drinking fine? Check in the morning to see if her crop is empty. When was the last time she laid? You might offer her some warm sugar water or Nutri-Drench. I hope she makes it!

Nothing seems to be working, we are going to have to put her down. We don't want her to suffer

I am glad you are doing what you think is best for the bird.
