Limp comb, water-like stool, feather plucking, trying to coo but no sound.

Thank you to everyone who gave advice! Lucy ended up getting about 85% better after treating with a broad spectrum antibiotic. Her comb regained most of its color, she isn’t quite as skinny, her abdomen is holding much less fluid, and she is acting mostly normal. She still doesn’t lay eggs, but that’s way ok as long as she is a happy chicken! View attachment 2264710

I'm glad that Lucy is doing better!
Thank you for the update.
If you don't mind, which antibiotic did you give her?

Getting my hands an antibiotic without a vet and a lack of vets who see chickens near me made it difficult, but I found this online and it helped us turn the corner. She wasn’t eating or drinking at that point so I gave it to her through a medicine syringe by mouth a few times a day. It has taken the past few months since then for the fluid to go down and for her to gain a little weight back.
