Thanks for the replies!
I did examine her and the her abdomen is not swollen- in she's mostly skin and bones right now - her breast bone is very prominent and she is much much smaller and lighter than even my smallest healthy hens. Her feathers are in good shape - no mites and they are not loose or falling out. Her vent was a little dirty this morning - I think that is mostly due to her pooping while she's sitting down though.
I was planning on giving her a warm bath tonight to clean her vent area and I can check for the egg binding then.
I can also do the deworming. Is safeguard the best option?
Thanks again for the help!
