What’s wrong with my hen?

[Avadrawzstuff]

Okay so I walked out into my chicken coop to check up on the girls and I see my hen is tripping over everything looks like she’s trying to lay an egg tail down her butt is full of dried poop head down comb looks purple-Ish and is not at all bright red like it should be she keeps laying down and closing her eyes. She’s panting uncontrollably and cannot stand up straight. Wings out too. What’s wrong with my baby?

She sounds like she is egg bound. Place her out in the sun. That's what I often do with my egg bound girls. If you don't have any sun, put her in a warm (be careful not to have it hot) water with Epsom salt. Hopefully that will help. Also, try cleaning up her bum. Use a warm, wet paper towels to loosen the poo before wiping it away. If it's really bad in her feathers, you can clip some of it out if you need to (be careful not to cut too close to her skin). Best of luck!
