Since this morning, our chicken has had head and tail drooping (although the tail drooping is not shown in the pictures). She has been very lethargic and drowsy. She has always had breathing problems since we got her about 9 months ago. Her poop is watery and green/white. She would not drink by herself so we gave her electrolite water through a syringe. She wouldn't eat normal feed so we gave her mushy feed and she ate some of it. Her eyes and nose have not shown runniness besides her nose being a bit sticky with small black marks on it. She still walks around slowly, and when she is not in her cage her eyes remain open. We have been holding her, and her eyes sometimes close there as well. One of our chickens that were in her flock died of Merricks about half a year ago, so we are worried this girl may be succumbing to it as well. She is not experiencing weight loss however which our other girl who passed away did. We have isolated her inside the garage, and have a lamp on her in the cage. Right now we are holding her while wrapped up in towels.but are not sure what to do next. I don't believe I will be able to take to her to a vet. Note for the blue on her in pictures: We sprayed her with Gerrmocidal medicne to coat her featherless skin to shield from the sun and help her regrow her feathers,
