Thanks so much to all who responded about the sick chicken Esmerelda. She died peacefully in one of the nesting boxes. I'm still not sure what illness she had, but she was a great chicken for being only 3 months old.

Esmerelda has a soft, squishy crop. Is that a good thing?? I havn't seen her droppings. I checked her beak, and it seems to look perfectly fine. It did have a slight smell though. She does seem to be eating a little. One thing i noticed was that she weighs like nothing compared to the other...
Our chicken, about 3 months has been standing around, not socializing with the other chickens. She doesn't eat much and has been like this for about 3 days. She did throw up this white mucus stuff, but other than that has been just hunched over and quiet. HELP!
We have 7 new chickens that are about 3 months old. We have 6 hens and a rooster. One of the hens, Esmeralda is very sluggish, and isolated from the rest of the group. She threw up this whitish slime on my brothers shoulder when he picked her up. All the other chicks/chickens seem to be fine...
