Good evening people, I am new to both this site and backyard chicken raising.

I have 4 hens and last night I noticed 1 hen stood alone in coop sleeping (she is usually the boss)

this morning she is very lethargic, her comb is now flat, won’t eat, did not lay an egg today, has a runny nose, can’t stand for very long. Sullen sunken eyes.

Mites are not a issue, coop is clean and dry.

I have tried to hand feed her alittle corn (usually she is first over) but won’t eat it today and I have given her a warm Epsom salts bath. Usually she does not like to be picked up but has today.

please help any advice on what the problem is and how I can make her feel better.

thank you
