Listless chicken

[Cathy and 3]

My 1 1/2 yr I’d Rhode Island red girl has become a bit listless, still eating but not interested in treats and sometimes seems lost. She was very active and vibrant. Any thoughts?

How does her poop look? Try giving her some electrolyte water. That will help boost her energy. Scrambled eggs are good also for an energy boost. Giving her some plain, raw yogurt will provide her with probiotics that she'll need to help fight off any sickness. A little apple cider vinegar in her water will help provide her with a bigger appetite and serve as an immune booster. Have you noticed anything more unusual about her?

Sorry your bird is sick. @AidKD has given you some great advice. Let me tag a couple members that can help as well.

What is your location?
What is your weather like? Has it suddenly turned hot?
What does her poop look like? Post a photo, but give a a background where it can be seen easily.
How old is she?
Does your coop have ventilation?
Is she laying? When was the last egg? Shell quality issues?
What all do you feed?
Have you felt her crop? Check it in the morning first thing to see if it's emptied overnight.

Good questions from others. Do you see any signs of her feathers looking different or her starting to molt? That is a time when my hens eat less, are listless, and are standoffish. Can you also post a picture of her?
