Check her vent and under wings for maggot infestation.  Treat for mites/lice.  Feel her bottom, is it swollen?  Antibiotics, maybe some Sulmet.  Use a dropper on top of the beak.

I had a bird with the same symptons around 18 months ago. For me it turned out it was a "one-eyed cold" so it could be that for you. She was very young, about the same age as your bird too. Gave her some "One-eyed cold in racing pigeons" tablets from Old Hand Supplies as instructed and she was right as rain in a week. I hope this helps :)

That is sleeping disiese and it could be cured with hand feeding and watering and giving anti-biotics properly

This is creepy, i am searching all over the forum, and found this thread.

My big healthy 5 month old wyandotte rooster is doing this same thing.

he barely even takes a cherry tomato if i cut it in halves.

no mites, nothing in the poop.

My birds are flat spoiled rotten, its making me crazy.

3 days ago, he was a thriving, energetic. happy crowing young roo.

Now he sits in the sun and just sleeps.

calling the vets tomorrow in hopes of any advice.

most wont touch any poultry around here and i just get, "go get a free one".

wow, how cold.
