This is ridiculous

Mine died, not a clue what was wrong with it... I would recommend seeking veterinarian help and giving your chicken Amprolium Corid solution.

I hate to even consider this... she’s lived a long and fulfilled life... to prevent her suffering, what would you think of euthanization with a firearm? I know how to make it completely painless... she’s been a sweet bird. All of them have. She doesn’t seem like she will get any better...

I will offer that immediately. Here’s a better picture of her stool. I can’t believe I didn’t think about laxative... I will try the coconut oil, and feed her some scrambled egg. She doesn’t seem very interested in eating.

Could it be egg yolk peritonitis? Yes I stated I isolated her in a previous comment and in the OP. I’ll read about that.

Still waiting for some help. I have her outside right now and she’s walking around, but she loses her balance and uses her wings to walk around. Here’s her poop again. It oozed out yellowish.

Here’s her poop.

Ascites?

Not sure how to add it to my profile. she’s drinking some water today. I just had to fill up the container for the first time. I’m going to go check her vent in a bit.

She’s probably not eating because she can’t get anything out like everyone has said on other links. Same thing usually happens with a broken egg from what I read. They get layena layer pellets with choice granite and crushed oyster shell. I occasionally toss out a SMALL bit of either scratch...

Alright, I already felt between her legs near her abdomen and it felt firm but still soft (not like an egg), but slightly sandy/squishy, it’s hard to explain. I’m not sure what to do... I’ll see about picking up some lube first thing tomorrow morning, tonight I was waiting to figure out what to do.

No lice or mites that I could see, I checked her feathers and skin very well. I’ve never really had issues there. my chickens are almost 3 years old.The breed I have slows down at around 2. I have 6 chickens and get between 0-3 eggs a day, rarely 4. She doesn’t really eat, so their isn’t much...

yikes... and how do I diagnose and treat her...?

This happened rather quickly. I inspect my chickens everyday. I went out the next day and saw a chicken having trouble walking, almost squatting. I immediately brought her to my isolation area where I treat sick chickens, before she became the target of the bullies. I think it’s constipation...

Still seeking some help!
