I originally posted this in the chicken behaviors forum but it seems to have turned into an emergency. Please help if you can.

The original topic is at the link below:

What's she doing? Topic.

Coccidia or worms seems the likely cause. i know with coccidia they will often stay to them selves, huddled in a corner, in a puffed up posture, and looking kind of pale. Corid or Sulmet is for coccidia. If you see no worms in her poo, then I'd treat for coccidia. If you see worms then treat with wazine for now. You need to keep her eating and drinking. Scramble up some eggs and by holding her beak open from the side, or from coming overhead with your hand and pressing on each side of the sinuses, open her mouth and put in a small piece of egg. The liquid she spit up is common when they drink a lot and then you pick them up, that happens alot. Put vitamins in her water until you can treat her with Corid etc. Put a small cup of water or put some water in a syringe and dribble it along the side of her beak. Drinking is very important. And keep her warm. Best wishes

You might want to just glance at the topics here, and see if any of them catch your attention. I see several posts from today about the bloody poop, so that would give you a start. There's several about impacted and sour crops as well. Best of luck to you, and I'll be trying to keep checking the thread for any changes.

Hugs and prayers!
