Hi I have a Californian white hen who hasn't been doing too well. She has diarrhea, is drooling/puking? especially when I try to hold her, and also seems to have trouble breathing sometimes. Her feathers are all puffed up and she obviously looks sick. She has been like this for a while, and I don't know what to do about it. I feel really bad that I don't know how to help. Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's a respiratory illness, but I don't really know how to treat it, or how I'm going to be able to separate her because it's getting cold where I live( I live in northern Wisconsin). I just don't know what to do for her. Please tell me what to do and what I need to treat her. Thanks in advance. Oh, by the way, none of the other birds(I have 38 more in the same area) are sick like that. They are all healthy. Well, some of them have black spots on their combs and wattles, and I looked up fowl pox, and it does NOT look like that. No one seems affected/bothered/sick from it so I hope it just goes away. so yeah. Thanks again for any answers or help..I'm still sort of new with chickens, and this is the first time this problem has happened. I think I should separate her, but I'm afraid she'll freeze to death. I really don't want that to happen....Ugh! I just don't know what to do....
