Hen not moving much. Help?!?

Pics are always helpful.
What are they being fed? Not just layer everything you give them on a regular basis. What are they eating that is not "feed"? Go to the beginning of the "Emerg. Disease. injury" and answer the ??'s in numerical order.
 
1) What type of bird , age and weight.
Golden Comet hen, 10 months

2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Not moving much, barely eating, drinking alot

3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
3 days

4) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
I dont think so

5) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
She was out in the rain and may have cought a cold. Also there is a rat in our barn that we just cant kill that may have done something.

6) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
Drinking fresh water and eating a little bit of bread layer feed and yogurt.

7) How does the poop look? Normal? Blody? Runny? etc.
Havent seen any except for, one poo that she did wasent really normal, it was like liquidy green balls connected with a white stringy thing

8) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
Nothing really except for washing her bum and hand feeding her

9 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
Myself

10) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
Will post later

11) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Fenced off portion of barn, hay for bedding.
