I noticed around 2 days ago that my hen only stayed in its nest, not moving around as much or even eating or drinking as much. In the past few days it spends all afternoon and morning sitting in its nest, and as of recent I can actually feel it's body shaking periodically. It hardly ever eats anymore and sometimes tries to peck its surroundings for no apparent reason. Its poop is sort of yellow and its comb is red, yet it seems to be suffering as it sits all day in its nest. I am not sure how old the hen is because it was from a friend but I am extremely worried because I cannot find anything matching its exact symptoms. It also has a cracked breathing sound (only lasted a day). I did give it a warm bath which made my hen active as ever as it trotted around as if nothing ever happened, an hour later it'd return to its nest, breathing and shaking while it sits there. I am super worried for my hen as I love it dearly, any suggestions or info will be greatly appreciated
Edit: I forgot to mention it seems restless and its tail droops and hangs down low
