Got a hen laying around a lot past two days.

I'm very concerned about one of my hens. She's around 2 years old. She is laying around non stop! She is wild so I can't look at her. What could it be?

Does she look fatigued or just laying around and sunning herself?

She's not sunning. She gets under a tree or bush and lays there. Doesn't really look fatigue or and thing. Kinda panting. But it is hot here

Oh no its respiratory I can tell

How is she eating and drinking? Can you check her at night since she's wild?

It's definitely respiratory she gasping for air. I just gave her tylan 50. Should I separate her

Does it have to be orally? I've been giving injections in her breast tissue. I'm not comfortable with oral.

She isn't eating but I seen her drinking this morning . Ate a tiny piece of bread. That's all. She is in the house in a cage.
