Help!!

[TheHeartOfTheHen]

So today when I was cleaning the coop, I noticed one of our girls was hanging out in the coop with her tail angled down. She wasn't moving very much, and didn't really respond when I called her. After a minute, I got the treats out and she soon came waddling out of the coop. She had her wings held weird, and seemed to be shivering. I held her for a minute until she stopped shivering, and set her down. Her eyes seem to be half closed, and her beak is open, but not panting or anything. I got her to eat some cracked corn, and she seemed to have a hard time eating it. I let her into the yard to see if anything would change, she just clucked a bit and spat out a piece of corn. The other girls are fine and seem normal, and this just started today. what is this? Is she okay??

Could be a number of things. Does she make a wheezing or gurgling sound when she breathes? Is she standing in a weird way, kinda upright like a penguin? Is there a bad smell coming from her mouth? Open her mouth and check for white membrane looking things or white-yellow cheesy looking lesions. Also, check her crop in the morning before she eats - is it empty or does it feel somewhat full? If it's full, is it squishy/watery or hard? Checking the crop in the morning is important, do it first thing tomorrow.

A picture or two might help as well.

She sounds like she's wheezing a bit, but I don't see anything in her mouth.

Age? Diet? When's the last time she laid, if she's laying?

Shes about 2 1/2 years old, we just feed her standard Purina chicken feed. She laid maybe a week ago? They haven't been laying much, since the days are shorter.

Thanks. Is there swelling between her legs? How often does she get treats. How's her crop and poops look?

No swelling, we give the girls treats probably every Sunday. Her crop seems full, poops look normal

When was her last egg?
Is she pooping? What's that like?

Check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. If it's not emptied, then address that symptom.
