Hi I'm new to this site. I need help. My Americana isn't walking or eating. I already checked her feet for wounds but there is none and nothing is broken. She does get up time to time but will only take a few steps. She is very weak. She has been throwing up the water she drinks but she keeps a little down. I have already separated her from the flock and gave her own food and water. Please help, need answers.
 
hi I am new to chickens so I dont know much but it sounds like it has a disease so if I were you I wouldn't let it near any chickens

Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock! Sorry to hear you have a sick hen :hugs my first thought would be that she may have something wrong with her crop if she can't keep water down and it's coming back up. Have you felt her crop? Does it feel normal? Does her mouth have a bad odour coming from it? Here is an article on crop issues https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/impacted-slow-and-sour-crops-prevention-and-treatments
With not eating and drinking she will feel weak and tired. Is she laying? If she is of an age to lay is she laying as normal? Have you felt for an egg that may be stuck?
There is the emergencies section you can post in for further help with her. Give as much detail as possible of symptoms.

Wishing you the very best with her and hope you can get her to full health soon :fl
 
Ok just submitted the new thread under: emergencies / diseases / Inguries and cures. I explained everything. Hope I figure out what's wrong with her soon.
