Hi everyone, I’ve searched everywhere but I can’t find anything so I came here. My hen had been sick for a few days. Her feathers are puffed up and she has a squishy crop. Her wings droop and she doesn’t eat. She also has liquid coming from her mouth, it was initially brown, and now is yellow. When it was brown, it would come out when she lowered her head. Now it comes out when she shakes her head. She hasn’t laid an egg in a while, but her abdomen does not feel like there is any blockage. She doesn’t eat. Her poop is entirely liquid. We have been giving her apple cider vinegar water and yogurt, and she can eat grain whenever she wants. She didn’t drink for a few days, but when we put some sugar in her water today, she has been drinking a lot more than normal. She isn’t as puffed up, but she is still lethargic. She jerks her head periodically like there is a blockage. What is ailing her? Please send help!
