Ok, I got two bantams two weeks ago, a serama and a silkie cochin. Recently, the serama has let me pick her up and has been laying down any chance she gets. Today though, she hasn't been standing hardly at all. Her wings and tail are drooping and whenever I put food in her face she pecks in the other direction, as if she can't tell where it is! Please help I don't want to lose any more chickens, and if she dies, the silkie cochin will be all alone! Also, her poop is green and bubbly, and it gets stuck all over her vent feathers.

Check around her vent. Does it feel bloated at all? Has she lay an egg yet since you've gotten her?
 
She sounds like my old RIR she couldn't walk for a week and it seemed as if she was blind she didn't know were to peck about. try tapping on her food tray and dip her peck in some water to encourage her to do so on her own.
 
Try supplementing with niacin, and other good vitamins and minerals. She may have a viral infection. Also try adding sugar to the water to help her get some energy.
