Chicken not doing so well - advice appreciated!

I can try scrambling an egg - I'll have to look up how

No dont worry about the egg. Just listen to casportpony

Feel her belly, does it feel large and very squishy, maybe like a water balloon?

Can you see this picture? No point in taking a video - she doesn't move.

I tried feeling her belly a bit - but all I can feel is that big bone down the middle and feathers.
Edit: She opened her eyes and maybe even took a step back when I pulled her up to feel underneath her - I could be wrong

It is directly between her legs and near her butt, sometimes when chickens are ill their belly will fill with fluid

I don't think I felt anything like that there

Sorry, but I fear she is dying. She is too sick to be force fed or watered, she is also so sick that just handling her will probably kill her, so put her in a warm room, like 80-85 degrees and see if she perks up.

I agree with casportpony, when a chicken looks that ill and there aren't really any symptoms other than looking ill there may not be a lot to do for her hopefully someone can come up with some other suggestions but if not it may unfortunately be the best idea to take her to a vet to put her out of her misery, chickens can get fatally ill in so many ways it's so sad

I thought the same thing - I looked it up in celcius and saw 80-85 is about 26-29 - the room should be about 20 right now (well that's what the heather says) but it might be a little warmer in her box.

I know my parents wouldn't let me take her to a vet so I won't even bother asking - I mean to be honest she'd probably die on the way. I doubt she'll survive the night. It amazing how quickly she went down. Anyhow, I suppose she'll be out of her misery soon enough. I'm not sure she'll last even too this evening, but she'll die as comfortably as I can let her right now.
