Hello! I noticed that one of my hens are drowsy so I checked on her and realised she was covered in poo. After I clean her I noticed a black spot which wouldn’t wash away. Underneath this spot she seemed to be a bit swollen. Her poo tends to be very wet.
Besides being drowsy she’s managed to fill up her crop everyday (I’ve checked that it empties overnight) and take dust baths by herself. She’s lost some weight and now when she is picked up you can feel bone. She eats fine though, she’s free ranged so she finds her own food and in the afternoon I give her some fruit. She also drinks water normally. She’s around 4 years old. She moves around with the flock and I don’t know if I should separate her
I’ve asked other people and they’ve suggested that she might of had an egg crack in her. I don’t quite know how to help her out nor what I should do
