Worried my older hen is in pain

[mschickiemama]

My 11 year old hen hasn't been her usual self the past 4 days.
-- not eating her feed (just kinda plays with it), only eating snacks like scrambled egg, banana, small piece of toast, blueberry
-- crop feels squishy
-- poop is liquidy with some solid green parts
--she goes to bed earlier and in the morning isn't rushing to get out of the house
--kind of quiet compared to her usual self
---feels a little lighter

She usually sleeps in the nesting box at night and lays down in there but tonight she is standing up in there instead of laying down and closing her eyes. I'm worried she could be in pain. But it's night time now and I have held off on calling a vet. Do chickens feel pain when they sleep? I feel so cruel if she's possibly in pain.

Her sister had to be put down a few years ago because she was having pain when she pooped and she just got weaker and weaker. The shelter worker who put her down said she had internal laying when they examined her (I didn't get to be in the room).

So I'm like crap could she be having this too? The last egg she ever laid was almost a year ago, an egg with no shell.

If she's that old and in the condition you describe, she is coming to the end of the road.
She likely has buildup in her body from reproductive issues or cancer. She is slowly starving as is indicated by the poop you describe. Laying down is putting too much pressure on her other internal organs.
I believe she is in pain and suffering and it will only get worse with time. If she were my bird, I'd euthanize her.
