I have a sick chicken. Please help. :{

Here's the poo guide so you can check the pictures against your chicken's.

How old is your chicken and have you noticed whether she's laid an egg recently.  One of mine was very off colour a few days ago.  I was watching her closely and she laid a large soft shelled egg, took herself off to the nest box for an hour and came out later right as rain.  That night she seemed to pass some remnants of soft shell, but has been fine since.  It really seems to take it out of them when this happens and could be what is wrong with your chicken.  You might find that a warm bath will ease her and help her pass an egg if she's having trouble and then you can dry her with a hair dryer on the warm setting (not hot).

Keep an eye on her for a bit longer and if she continues looking ill you may have to take her to your vet.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the replies.

I don't think she's laid very much recently, as our egg count has fallen. She is just under a year old now. She was chased by a tom cat about six months ago and had a broken egg inside her, with similar symptoms, but had recovered from her ordeal with rest and separation from the other hens. 

Have not wormed them recently, but I have the medication for that and will give her a dose today to see if it helps. I have also cleaned her coop to shine like a new pin and made sure she has easy access to food and water, and a clean bed. Poor thing. :{ My son will be devastated if anything happens to her because she is his favourite chicken.

Will keep you posted. Thanks again.
