Wet poop on vent lethargic chicken

[Seidenj]

Chicken had yellow discharge in feathers near vent. Sitting most of the day with eyes closed definitely not acting like herself. Any ideas ?

She could have had an egg break inside of her.

Can you soak her in warm epsom salt bath and give her some extra calcium to see if it helps her pass it.

She appears to be healthy in the photo.Can you feel her abdomen area?Does it feel hard?Squishy?.How does her crop feel?

Before a correct diagnosis is made i would advise against giving her a bath.If she isn't egg bound it may kill her.

Keep her in a warm place 85-90F with food and water.If she refuse to drink oral medication may be required via eye dropper or syringe.

I would agree that she needs to be observed, possibly confined with food and water in a pen or cage on a towel or pad. I would not make her too warm, but comfortable. Feel inside her vent 1-2 inches gently (use a rubber glove) to check for an egg or shell. If you feel nothing she probably is not eggbound. If you do feel an egg, give her a human calcium tablet or Tums, and place her in a warm humid room, or on a heating pad on low. Take a photo of any further droppings that are yellow or abnormal. Yellow droppings can be from egg matter (either "cooked egg yolk" or a broken yolk,) or bacterial infection. Internal laying can be very common in hens and can cause similar symptoms. Make sure that she is eating and drinking well. Here are a few articles to read about common laying problems:
