Hi everyone
I need some advice one my birds seams Ill but I’m not sure why
She was fine this morning even gave me an egg but now (late afternoon) when I came to let her out she just sat on the perch I had to pick her up and carry her out of the run and even then she just stood there all fluffed up with her eyes half closed and she keeps falling asleep on her feet I haven’t seen her eat anything either but she looks fine her eyes are bright
anyone have any ideas

How old is she?
Is she pooping - what's that like?
Have you added new birds recently, any changes?

Check her over for lice/mites, make sure her crop is emptying overnight. It would be good to see if she will drink before she roosts tonight.
Was her egg normal?

thanks for the response
She is about 11 months will be a year in June
Her poop does look weird very runny mostly water but no blood and she looks like she keeps trying to poop
We are currently in the process of integrating 6 pullets that we got as day old chicks although they are not living together yet
Her egg looked normal this morning two
Also she is a red sexlink and I know they can be prone to problems because of egg laying
Also I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to keep her in the house overnight
 
She keeps looking like she's trying to poop? I would wonder if she's trying to expel a soft shelled egg - I do realize she laid an egg, but it was late(?).
I would work on getting her hydrated and give her extra calcium (Caltrate with D3 or a Tums).
