I've had a look a some threads like this already but I have a picture of my birds droppings I'd like some opinions on, and a few other details.
My Wyandotte pullet is 10 weeks old (so I think that eliminates egg bound).
She's been eating a medicated chick grower for coccidiosis (I know she can still get sick on this, just thought I'd include that detail anyway)
She has already been treated for mites and lice a few weeks ago.
Her symptoms started this morning, when I opened the coop she didn't come running out with the rest, seemed mildly interested in food and water but didn't actually eat or drink, she was shaking, and puffed up (its 26 degrees Celsius today so kinda warm)
This afternoon she walked out of the coop and lay in the sun for a few hours with her eyes closed.
Her symptoms aren't severe.. yet.. but of course I'm worried because last time I had a sick chook (few years ago) her symptoms started off like this and she was dead in 3 days

I have a mild suspicion as to what's possible making my chick feel unwell, a few days ago I gave all the chickens a little bit of bread that was on the expiry date, however this is the only one showing any sort of symptoms so far. If the bread was bad I would have thought theyd all be feeling unwell. Anyways...let me know what yas think and if anyone has any ideas for how I could help the chick
