My chicken is losing feathers and is sick!

[Johnheck]

Hey!

My chicken is barely moving and her head is not moving much.
He’s tail feathers are a little bit ruffled. Also her feathers are coming off as you can see on the picture(the gray spots).
He is not 6 months old yet and doesn’t lay eggs.
What should I do and what virus does she have?

Are you sure she's not just molting?
How old is she? What's her diet, brand and type? Any other symptoms?

Doesn’t lay eggs yet. Food: duckweed, grass, corn, commercial chicken egg laying feed. No other symptoms

She's likely getting her adult feathers.
Cut out everything but the feed, it's not good for her. And get a grower feed, at least 18% protein because she's way too young for layer and she won't grow properly with it.

What about her being sick?

Any mites/lice? Is her crop emptying in the morning?

You said she has no symptoms. What exactly are you seeing?
Molting makes chickens feel lousy if she's acting a little sluggish.

What does her typical poop look like? Pictures? Does her comb look yellowish to you?
