2 year old light Brahmin stopped laying

[jja315]

My 2 year old light Brahmin has stopped laying. She has lost weight and her poop is liquid. She stays by herself. She is weak too. Any suggestions?

Those symptoms could be from a lot of different factors... do you have a spot where you can isolate her? Whenever we have a chicken that looks like it's ailing, or is just acting "different", we put her in the master bedroom shower with a heat lamp, straw, food, and water. Just to put things in perspective (we're not crazy!), we're remodeling our master bath so the shower is unusable right now anyway, chickens aside. I put apple cider vinegar in the water, or if the chicken is really lethargic, one of those electrolyte/vitamin packets. It's not unusual to stop laying at this time of the year (unless you use a light in the coop), but the weight loss and diarrhea are concerning. Try putting her somewhere warm, dry, and safe, with some electrolyte water.
