Hi
A couple days ago one of my chickens wandering off for a couple of hours and we found her by the coop in what looked to be normal condition, but she hasn’t been acting like herself after that. She doesn’t walk around much and sits in one corner of the run all day. When we let them out she finds a place to stand in stiffly and stays there until sundown. I checked her for visible injuries and she seems fine. She’s been producing a sort of watery stool and her comb is cold and purple-y. She’s currently lying face-down. Does anyone know what might be wrong with her?

Do you have photos of her and her poop?
When was her last egg?

How old is she?

She's lying face down right now?

Can she lift her head and take a few sips of sugar water? If not, can you give her drops of sugar water/electrolytes to see if she will perk up a little?
