Hen with pale comb and lethargic

[DiggsTheChick]

Need some help I'm unsure of what age my chicken is or if she has even been laying eggs(never watched) I have a copper maran who has a pale comb and is lethargic she kind of sits around but she's still eating and drinking that I know of...she was eating today for sure but I'm not sure what that would be or how to treat it I put some electrolytes in her water since I was unsure of what it could be the whole flock was treated with Tylan in the past couple of days.... I only just noticed her symptoms today she seemed fine before

How's her poop? Picture of her & poop would help. Why was the flock treated with Tylan?

Good question by @ChickNanny13 what were you treating the flock for?

For your hen that is lethargic, check her crop - what does it feel like, look her over for lice/mites, feel the abdomen for swelling/bloat or fluid.
It would be good to see what she looks like along with her poop.
Getting fecal float to rule out worms and coccidiosis overload is to be considered.

If she is lethargic, do what you can to keep her hydrated. She may need some extra warmth if your weather is cold. Bring her in or provide her with extra bedding.

Look forward to more information and your photos.

I find in my chickens, when the comb starts getting a bit pale, it's time to worm them, especially when production slows down a little too. Yes, a fecal float has confirmed that numerous times. Worm overload can cause the described symptoms, so please check the poop very very soon.

Diggs, more information would be helpful. Where did the Tylan come from? Was it a vet that provided it, with dosing information? Did you get it at the feed store? Injectable? How were you treating them with it? In their water, oral, injection? Is there a chance this one got too much? Pictures of her, and several of her poop might prove helpful. Have you felt under her vent area for an egg that might be stuck? Be careful not to break the egg inside her, just in case one is there.

It is injectable that I got from a feed store the guy that I got my chickens from said to put about 15 to 20 CC's in 5 gallons of water he said his chickens get like that sometimes too I have not felt for an egg yet

Sneezing can be from a number of things - mold/mildew, respiratory illness, poor ventilation, excess dropping in the coop, dust - it would be hard to know.
If you have your coop closed up for winter see that they still have plenty of ventilation and fresh air coming in. Clean up excess droppings.

Injectable Tylan 50 can be given individually orally or by injection. I don't believe it mixes well with water. Did the sneezing go away with treatment?
If you think your whole flock needs treatment - in the future ask your vet for Tylan Soluble (powdered) which is designed to be added to the water. Tetra/Oxy/Doxycycline can also be obtained from your vet (to go in water) or if you think you are dealing with Mycoplasma you can use Denagard (Tiamulin). Keep in mind that antibiotics only treat symptoms/infection of certain respiratory illnesses and there is no cure. Depending on what you are dealing with all birds are carriers.
