Hey y'all. I have a 9 month old pullet named Peggy who is very weak, not wanting to move around, just lays down all the time. She is a prairie bluebell egger and last laid on egg on Thursday. Egg was normal. She is not an everyday layer so her skipping a day or two is normal. She did drink a very little this morning but I haven't seen her drink since. Not eating at all. Her crop is squishy but not large and not impacted. She normally eats Nutrena Naturewise All Flock. Her six flockmates are all acting normal, eating, drinking, foraging. Peggy is more flighty and runs from me so when she let me pick her up, I knew we had an issue. She is very light and I can feel her bones. I gave her Nutridrench straight in her beak and she swallowed that, not quite 1ml. No wounds that I could see, no lice or mites. Her vent is nice and clean. No smell to her. She did poop and it was yellow and had form, then was diarrhea. I tried to get a picture but it was promptly stepped in. I did check inside her vent and did not feel an egg. But I did notice her one pupil was funny looking. The one is normal, nice and round. This one(picture provided) looks like a slit. No drainage anywhere, no sneezing or snotty nose. I have her separated in a dog cage but still in the run with her sisters. She has her own food and water and I'm about to scramble her an egg. I rarely feed them treats so this scrambled egg will be new to her. Beyond what I'm doing, what else can I do? I will not take her to a vet, I prefer to treat on my own. Here is the picture of her one funny looking pupil and a picture of her. I'll try and get a picture next time she poops. Thanks. @Wyorp Rock @azygous Edited to add that no new birds have come into this flock. It has been the same 7 ladies since October
