Henfla
Songster
I have a two year old hen. It started three days ago when she was trying to lay an egg in the evening when the others were going to roost for the night. It ended with her not laying an egg, but I could not feel any egg around her vent area, so I concluded with her not being egg bound.
The morning after I went to check on her, and then her crop was not emptied during the night, and she was just standing outside looking a little lethargic, so I concluded she was having an impacted crop and massaged the crop many times that day and gave her some oil, and it was fine again yesterday and she seemed fine all day.
Today she seemed fine this morning, but then I noticed her standing under the same bush for hours while the others were foraging. So I took her with me inside. Her droppings have been normal in consistency and dark green (but they eat grass and stuff) but the last one was white and slimy.
She is still interested in food. Other than that she just stands beside me on the sofa with closed eyes most of the time. Her crop seems like it works like normal now, and she has been eating today because it's half full. I tried to put her in a crate inside, but she refused to be inside the crate so she still has energy to fight like that when she needs to.
I have given her zoolac propaste and some water with vitamins.
I don't understand what is wrong?
I will add some pictures.
