This morning my hen was acting very slow she didn’t come out of the coop and wasn’t eating much. I left for school and when I cam back she seemed much worse. She is very slow and lethargic she is sitting down not moving. She is pooping some weird yellowish/green stuff. I looked at her vent and everything seems fine. I felt her crop and it was about halfway full. What is wrong with her?

Can you give her some sips of electrolyte water, Gatorade, or some Poultry NutriDrench followed by water? Then offer some scrambled egg bits and wet chicken feed. Is her crop puffy or firm? Be sure to check it again first thing in the morning to see if it has emptied. Does she lay eggs? Is her tail position up or down? Her poops look like she has not been eating, thus the green bile. How old is she? I will be offline for awhile, back later.

Her crop is more puffy than firm. She didn’t lay an egg today but she lays a egg almost every day. Her tail is more down. She is approximately a year and two months.
