Help sick chicken!

[mandy_erica]

Hi all, I am a first time chicken keeper and I think I have a sick chicken. She is 8 mo old.





She is lethargic and separate from the rest of the flock





She will stand there and look like she is nodding off.





Other flock members will pick at her. I think she also may be starting to molt because she is losing some feathers and I can see new pin feathers developing.

She will not roost with the rest of the flock at night.

Also kind of graphic- but her poop looks abnormal to me

I checked for lice and mites, I checked her vent to see if she was egg bound.
I’m not quite sure what to do here? Thoughts?

@Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @Overo Mare @casportpony Any ideas? That doesn't look great to me, these members can help you more. I hope she gets better!

Can you separate her from the other chickens, and try to give her some water and food? Scrambled egg is good, wet chicken feed, and electrolytes would be good to give. Could she have been kept from food and water by others? I would give some Poultry NutriDrench or Poultry Cell orally. Does she lay eggs? How does her crop feel—empty and flat, full, hard, doughy, or puffy? Can you get some droppings checked by a vet for a fecal float?
