Water came out of her mouth

[Razzlefrazzle]

Her poop is really dark and kinda runny

Can you post a picture? Also does it smell different or worse than usual?

Also gently palpitate her belly and vent area to check for lumps or swelling.

I didn’t notice any smell but dang it she isn’t eating anything even eggs she looks pitiful

I’m so sorry, I know it’s hard. I went through it for a few weeks once with one of my hens. She got better though. It isn’t always possible but often it is and you’re doing a lot for her. I hope she improves soon. It can take time.

If her crop is full she isn’t going to want to eat.

If you aren’t getting very far with the coconut oil and massaging you might read this thread. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/possible-impacted-crop.1440241/#post-23879691

I took this off of a similar thread

That is actually what healed my hen who was sick with impacted crop for two weeks. It’s really scary to give through eye dropper though. I ended up tube feeding it to her because I was afraid I was going to get it down her lungs.

I’m not sure if this will share but here is the video link about the same remedy.

If you do it just take your time and be sure to let her swallow. Just give a drop at the side at a time and let her swallow. The video points out that she only fills the eye dropper with a small amount at a time so she won’t accidentally give too much at once.

thank you, she’s an awesome hen , I haven’t owned her too long , previous owners were moving and asked if I’d take their four older hens, I named her Nancy . She loves playing with my dog , it’s so funny. Actually sent a video of them to Americas funniest home videos!! I honestly don’t think I’ve ever gotten an egg from her, she’s just funny. My heart is breaking knowing she’s probably hungry
should I just continue the coconut oil?

If her crop still feels very full I'd empty it and then get some sugar water in her for energy and hope she perks ups and feels like eating a little.
