    Please help! Very sick chicken

    lethargic, watery diarrhea, won’t stand, breathing slightly labored, wet around her beak. I was out of town for two days (sitter probably didn’t notice) Came home to her this way.... didn’t feel an egg inside, don’t think she is egg bound. Laying in the nesting box with eyes closed.
