Wildfire Smoke?

[ckuehn]

The crop was not overly large and a bit spongy when you checked it this morning?

Check it again, first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. The crop should feel Flat/Empty in the morning after a full night's sleep.
If it's spongy or doughy, then address that symptom.

Photos of your hen and her poop may be helpful.

If she's able to eat/drink on her own, provide food/water during waking hours and let her eat/drink as she wants. If she's not getting picked on and can be with her flock, leave her with her flock.

You "hope she doesn't lay an egg today" it takes a lot out of her? If she's exhausted laying an egg, then give her One 300mg tablet of Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a few days to see if that helps her expel and egg or material.

It sounds like your hen is having health issues. I can't say specifically what - maybe reproductive problems. If possible, get a fecal float to see if she needs deworming. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

She is still alive. I gave her miconozole last night, let her stay on the perch with the rest, she is just no different, but this stool was from this morning and looks typical to what she has been doing.

The ancient Romans used to build their hen houses to accept the smoke from the cooking fires in their kitchens. They found the smoke to be therapeutic for the chickens (probably helped with parasites). I would guess whatever is going on with your chickens, it isn’t the smoke.

I started the miconozole. I am going to let her hang with her flock tomorrow. She is roosting with them tonight. Everyone has the air purifier. I have Tiaguard in the waterers everywhere so no one can avoid it. I hand dosed four of the worst gurglers (my Icelandic acts like she can't catch her breath and then sneezes and does better for a while). I would say 5 are afficted but no one was sick three days ago (except my Speckled Sussex who is laying eggs that are long and soft like balloons).

You started Miconazole, so I assume you feel her crop is sour? If so, give the Miconazole twice a day for a full 7 days as discussed in the article, even if she "gets better" finish the course.

You have Tiagard (Tiamulin) on hand, this treats Mycoplasma only in poultry. So does your flock have a history of respiratory disease?

The bright green poop with yellow urates can point to something going on with the liver. Can be reproductive or not eating well too. It can be hard to nail these things down a lot of time since symptoms can be very similar and more than one condition can be at play.

I'd encourage her to eat her normal feed and drink well.
