Crackle is an Ameraucana, about a year old, was the heaviest in the flock but she began to feel lighter a few weeks ago.

symptoms began to show last week when I first noticed yellowish discharge around her vent, I had another chicken have the same problems awhile back and when I treated her for vent gleet it went away so I just did what I did for her (separated her, gave her salt soak, sprayed rear with vetericyn, and offered her hydro-hen everyday along with regular water).

the first few days no change, she'd just lay down all the time, barely eat, and occasionally drink. I noticed her picking up her pellets but not eating them, so I gave her chick crumble I had laying around and she ate that so I eventually switched to an adult crumble for her.

on the 17th she began to look much better! actually standing and chicken scratching. although today she looks terrible- she's still standing and moving around however her eyes are bubbling and her face is wet:

No other chickens are showing these symptoms or signs of sickness at all.
