Chicken Very Lethargic, Poor Appetite

[Chicks 'n ducks]

Hello,
I have a 18 month old Silkie pullet who just today and yesterday started acting sick. She stands hunched and puffed and doesn't move much. She weighs hardly anything. No clicking/rasping while breathing, no discharge on face/nostrils, no mites/lice. Other chickens are fine. She has a poor appetite but will peck around a little at food. I have had several mystery deaths in my flock but have yet to get a chance for a necropsy. Anything I can do for this sweet girl? I really would hate to lose her.

i recently had a pullet die. Not sure what’s up with your but the vet did have me feed her warmed frozen corn. she did perk up and eat that. good luck.

Is her poo normal? I would look up signs/ symptoms of Coccidiosis. My pullet was acting the same way, no blood in her poop, but she had runny foamy poop. I treated for Coccidiosis and she perked up within 24hrs. I drenched her with a single dose first, to speed things up, and treated the entire flock in their water.

I'll need to check. I assume you treated with Corid?

Yes, do you have liquid or powder?
