Hello all…I have a hen that’s 3 years old, hasn’t laid in about a year and has been acting off the past month. The vet said she had worms so we treated her and gave her antibiotics, which helped for about 2 or so weeks and now she’s back to sitting in the house all day. She has a slight swollen belly that’s tight feeling, barely eating or drinking but still seems to perk up. Her comb has fell over from not drinking and I’ve tried forcing water in her. I’m stumped as to what to do next. I checked on her this morning and saw her trying to eat some squishy mass that was in the nesting box I found her in this morning. We’ve dealt with lash egg before but since she doesn’t lay I wasn’t sure she would have that problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The picture was after I had cut into it to see what it was
