Yes. Was told there were no signs of worms or coccidia. Taking her to a vet is out of the question. Like I said in my original post, for all the years we've had chickens this is a first. When she is out she goes between standing around and picking/scratching the ground. We're stumped. It's...
Not worms or coccidia. She is no worse...but no better. She drinks and I have been feeding her an electrolyte/ yogurt blend with a medicine dropper. She'll look at food then walk away.
I wouldn't use it myself. Check out this link to see why. (I certainly wouldn't eat eggs from chickens fed this...)

I was planning on letting them out but the weather gets so nasty here in the winter. .. I plan on having both windows open in warmer weather. Been thinking I need more vents myself.
I do have my birds. 4 EE pullets. They are currently in a 4 x 4 coop with large outdoor run but with winter weather and 24 - 7 shut in we had to build a much larger coop.

It's 8' x 6' and the front is roughly 6' high. (I'm short so it works). Back wall is less than 5' high...
Just a little history on these girls to start:
I bought 4 EE pullets back in late September. They were all lovely birds, well cared for and in the picture of health. I brought them home and put them into our 4x4 coop which has a large outdoor run and have let them run in it every day since...
HI all,
Someone suggested I find the New York page but it has no place to start a new thread.
I am looking to start over, having just lost our last (11year old) hen to old age in July. I have two empty smaller coops and plan on eventually getting a couple standard pullets next year. I would...
Hi all,
I'm new here but by no means new to chickens. Having grown up with them I find myself (40 years later) looking to start a new flock.
I'm looking for 2 nice, friendly bantam pullets. Preferably just started laying. Our chickens have a great forever life on our property. (Our last hen...
