HELP! Sick chicken - eyes closing (sometimes one/both), pale comb, hasn't laid eggs in a few days

[Kiki]

I watched her tonight. She drank about 5-6 sips throughout an hour or so.

Do you have electrolytes on hand?
I'd try to get her to drink some.

I added a packet of the electrolytes and probiotics to their water.. she had about 3-4 sips after that was added. I also gave her 1ml of the nutrition supplement.

Should I wake her up and have her drink more?

Did you take her to the vet this morning?

They cannot get her in until tomorrow at 8am. She seemed a bit better today. I did see her in the nesting box for awhile. She got out, sang her song but there was no egg. I put her in a warm water bath for awhile and I put lubrication on her vent. I feel like she may have been wheezing while I had her in the tub. I tried to feed her tums but she didn't eat it. She ate plenty of food, water and watermelon today. No clue what's going on... hopefully the vet will know...

Thx!

We just got done at the vet. She has a respiratory infection. She had a fever of 105 (vet said 103 is normal for chickens). She's not egg bound. We got some antibiotics and she got a calcium shot since she hasn't been laying.

Great!
Did they happen to test her poop for worms/cocci while you where there?

No they didn't.

Thanks for all of your information! I am hoping my girl is okay now
