I have a two year old bcm hen. she has not been laying recently but I didn’t think anything of it because she has always been a bad layer. two days ago i noticed that her comb is purple floppy and I am wondering what is wrong. her activity has been weird lately too. she often stands stock still for long period of time and hides in the corner. she is still eating and pooping normally and none of the other chickens are exhibiting similar symptoms. what is wrong with her and what can i do?
thanks!!

one more thing to add- i’ve been reading a lot of articles- so i’m going to put acv in her water should i separate her?
 
I have read your other thread, and @azygous gave you good advice. Since she has never laid well, I would suspect that she may have been laying internally. Her comb laying over with the bluish tips could be heart problems or maybe because she is not drinking enough water. I prefer to leave my chickens with their flock as long as they are not being picked on. Have the others kept her from food or water? Can you feel of her crop early tomorrow before she has had a chance to eat or drink, to see if her crop is empty, or full, firm or puffy. Watch to see if she is eating and drinking, and tryoffering some cooked egg.
