Hello 
We're quite new to keeping chickens. We have two, Kim and Spot, adopted from neighbours who moved away and they were, I think, originally battery hens, probably about 5 years old.
It's Kim we're worried about she's lethargic and has stopped eating. She will drink when sat next to the water. We thought she might be egg bound at first as a couple of soft shell eggs were found but after a few warm baths there's been no improvement. Her crop is soft I think - I can't feel anything hard till her breast bone. We've searched and googled and ticked off what it's definitely not e.g. Marek's disease, there's no evidence of worms, her feet are fine, she's no discharge other than loose poo, pic below. Spot's fine and still laying.
Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.
