I have a 3+ year old Buff that is not eating and loosing weight and getting sick often. She was eating food that I made into mush at first, but now is not eating much of that either. What throws me off is her comb and waddles are a nice red color and she seems perky.

What would cause the loss of appetite?
 
By "getting sick" do you mean she is throwing up water? If so, could be sour crop (or "thrush" I think it's called)
 
She has a multitude of sick issues. I noticed she lost weight some months back during the chicken's physical inspection, her beast is concave. Her crop is empty, which I have trouble finding and feels like there is only pebbles in there and has the tiniest poo. It seems an eating disorder came first, then started to get sick from the lack of nutrients.
