Noticed one my marans had droopy wings and shes a little poofed up (none of the others look like this). She was eating and drinking fine but does seem a bit skinnier than the others. What can I give her to help her improve and should I quarantine her?

How old is she ? What are her droppings looking like? Was she vaccinated for anything? I would offer fluids and considier starting Corid in the water for possible coccidiosis. Has she been low in pecking order or bullied, where she could have been kept from water?
Corid dosage is 2 tsp of liquid Corid per gallon of wster for 5-7 days. Powder Corid dosage is 1.5 tsp per gallon.
 
She should laying in the spring so I believe 7-8 months and I don't think she and the others were vaccinated (got them from hoovers hatchery). I'll have to look at her poop still but I dont believe she's being bullied or been low in the pecking order. I'll respond asap when I get a look at the poop and would it be alright to give all my girls that treatment just in case or just that one thats sick looking? Thank you so much as well for the helpful info
 
Corid is safe for everyone, or you can treat just her. Drooping wings can be a sign of dehydration which is common in coccidiosis, but also could possibly be a sign of Mareks disease. Treat the dehydration and give Corid for possible coccidiosis in her water first. Hopefully that will help her.

I would have to order some off Amazon since I don't got any rn but what can I give her in the meantime to help? I got some electrolyte and probiotic mix yesterday would that help any?
 
If you canget her to drink some fluids with electrolytes, that would be great. Plain yogurt or alittle buttermilk cannhelp until Corid gets there. Are you close to a feed store or TSC? Corid is found in the cattle medicine aisle. The liquid may be less expensive.
