Emergency, please help! My 2 year old chicken has been acting off (standing around, wings drooping, not eating/drinking) all day, but things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. When I went to check on her just now, her eyes were closed and she seemed to be struggling to breathe. Her breathing sounds full of liquid, gurgly, and wheezey. When I picked her up, eggy, yellowish liquid poured from both her mouth and butt. It continues to leak out of her. She has been struggling with laying issues (thin shelled eggs, loose yolks, wrinkled eggs) for weeks but nothing I've tried (additional calcium, deworming, Corid) seems to have worked. Someone has also been having bloody poop, but I'm not sure if it's her (it also seemed to lessen following the Corid). I thought she might be egg bound at first since she kept spending a lot of time in the nesting box, but with the liquid coming from her mouth, I'm not so sure now.
If anyone has any ideas on how to help her, please let me know. I have called nearly every emergency vet within 2 hours around me, but none of them will take chickens and I'm desperate.
