I have a two year old production red that seemed fine yesterday, but today she is listless, walking slow with her tail down and her comb is pale. She is just laying around, but seems to eat treats when I give them to her. Crop does not seem impacted and nothing else seems to be visibly wrong
I brought her inside in plastic bin and gave her water with ACV and food, plus her favorite treat (grits). I am going to the store for poly-vi-sol without iron like I read inother posts.
Is there any thing else that I should do? She is one of the first chickens that I ever had and I don't want to lose my baby.

Thanks
 
2 days ago. She laid an egg the day before, she started acting sluggish.

I thought the she might be egg bound but I can not feel an egg like described in other posts. She has been eating very little today as well.

She is still very weak and has trouble standing for long and eating and drinking little. I am still giving the antibiotics and poly-vi-sol daily and hoping for he best, but not much has changed.
