Have a hen who started sitting in nest box two days over the last week with no egg. I assumed possible moulting as she has new pin feathers growing on her abdomen. 2 mornings ago I saw egg content under roost and this hen did not act her normal self, very slow, lethargic. Brought her in, soaked in bath, flushed vent with Epsom salt, gave fluids. First day she did not eat or drink I syringed water and egg yolk. Second morning she walked out on her own a couple times, drank quite a bit of water and slightly pecked at food. That same after noon back to not doing well. She fluffs her feathers often as if she is in pain, her feces is extremely thick like jelly with yellowish within. Now after 2 days she obviously got green due to not eating. I don’t have a vet that can see her until 3 days from now. My only other worry is coccidiosis?
