Lethargic, fluffed up chicken with clear, runny poop. Close to death. URGENT

I say hug her and love on her. I could not go through euthanasia on mine and I don’t think you should try it.

She doesn't seem to be in active distress (gasping, splayed out, struggling). As long as she is peaceful, I would let her be.

That's what I had assumed, I just wanted to check with the experts
Thanks, all of you, for everything.

I’m sorry that your hen isn’t getting better!

Ruby, were we able to get a pic of the yellow stuff mom was talking about, I'd like @casportpony to have an opportunity to see it.

I'd suggest that our med folks may have more questions...

I concur with @Redhead Rae
Honey.
...and her comb is neither pale nor blue.
Leave her be as long as she's comfy.
In fact if it's chilly, she might be more comfortable on you lap than the floor, where it might be drafty.

I'm pretty sure she already cleaned it up. i can see, though. The only drafts in there are warm drafts, as the wood stove is continually gently blowing out warm air.

 

[Rubysword]

I can't find the rag she used to clean it up, and I don't feel comfortable repeating it.

No problem. You don't have to.
