Hello,
Yesterday I noticed my old english chick was sick. She is about 2 months old and fully feathered. She was fine in the morning but seemed lethargic in the evening, and would not eat any mealworms although she normally goes nuts for them.
She is drinking, not sure if she's eating. Her feces were watery, with clear liquid, white stuff, and green stuff. As far an I know, no worms, either. I dont notice any big problems on the outside expect that her feathers were ruffled.
I've isolated this chick inside where the chickens sleep while the other 3 are playing outside. I've turned the heat lamp on and set the temp to 70~80 degrees. I've given her ACV warm water. I have some questions.
Thank you in advance. I am very worried for this chick
EDIT: She just threw up water as i went to pick her up to take another look at her, it'll be best to let her be.
Her chest looks a bit swollen, either that or she has her head tucked inside more.

- Should I keep this chicken in a different box then the rest of the flock?
- What can I do?
- What is wrong with her? is it just a cold?
