Lethargic Hen, help!

[Cleetus777]

Hello all,

I have a semi lethargic hen. She sits around and eats very little and drinks very little. She ate some scratch right out of my hand and cat food so I know she has hunger; I also watched her drink water. I though she had mites so I have sprayed her and I do not see any more mites; then I gave her antibiotics because I heard her sneeze a lot. This was two days ago. I can’t seem to feel any eggs, and her crop is semi empty so it is not inpaction or sour crop. Any ideas?

what temperature is it at your place? A few weeks ago one of my birds started being lethargic it was about fifteen degrees (but she is very skinny’s down has thinner feathers ) I thought she may be cold so I made her “insulated” jacket and within 30 minutes of having it on she was acting normal .

How old is she? Have you brought in any new birds? What does she eat (feed and treats)? Has she ever been treated for internal parasites? How does her poop look? Please take a picture of her poop and post it here. I know that sounds gross but a lot can be learned by their poop
