Sick chicken

[Ting ting]

My chicken Jade has been acting lethargic for days. She looks puffed up and is in the coop while the others are out in the run. Today I noticed she had a poop butt so I cleaned her up and put her in the bathroom she does not look well her stool is watery. After cleaning her I did not notice anything unusual. I have seen her eat and drink

When was the last time she layed? I would check in her mouth and throat for lesions and check her ears for infection. Also check her eyes for any swolleness and discharge. I would start off by giving her some plain greek yogurt and scrambled eggs.

She has not layed an egg yet that I know of, not all my girls are laying just yet. Her eyes and ears look good. She did have a solid poop after I posted this. She will eat when I walk in,however I haven't seen her drink. I think she's only eating trying hard to act normal if that makes sense.

Yes, it does! I would give her the scrambled eggs and yogurt. You could try dipping her beak in water to get her to drink.
