Hello , I have a chicken she's 5 months old she laid her first egg 2 weeks ago , she takes a break from laying for 2 days and lays in the 3rd day , I have been told that it's normal for the new laying hen , anyways today she was doing fine all morning eating , scratching , sun bathing playing all around , by the end of the day and when it's time to sleep she has been standing up for almost all night with her head down touching the ground , it's not normal to stay like that all that time , she likes to sleep standing up but not for that much time , she also usually wakes up to eat or drink a little but tonight nothing went in her stomach at all , I thought she will be doing fine by the morning but the sun is up now and still she won't move around , eat or drink , her eyes are closed all the time , her droppings are fine nothing unusual, her comb and wattles are hot and red , but I noticed while she breaths her wattles are coming close to each other and in between which I believe it's her throat is moving in and out , also her wings are down for a little bit not all the way down and are moving in and out while inhaling and exhaling, I don't know what to do I'm so scared , she is always active but it's the first time for me to see her like that , I have no vet anywhere near me so I have to do something to help her on my own , oh and also her beak is closed normally while breathing ,now I notice that she's drinking , no food went inside her for more than 15 hours now , please help me
