My hen is acting a bit off...

[Greystone farm]

Hey! My hen Myrdle is acting a bit off. She seems lethargic and quiet. She is also panting a bit and has a pale waddle and comb, but that is probably just the heat. I isolated her with some food and water just to be safe, and she hasn't pooped a lot that I've seen since then. Don't know how much they normally poop though so...? Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Can you post some pics of her, and her poop (if she poops)?

k just a sec

The one pic is of the skin under her feathers..I dunno if its just dust or mites/lice on her skin.
Otherwise she looks pretty good other then maybe some heat stress, but has only pooped that once in the past hour, that I know of. She has been sleeping on my lap as I research, and Myrdle rarely is that snuggly. She is normally more prone to flapping or running off, but not today. Over all, I'm probably just being and overprotective hen momma but thx for any help

Should I put her back in with the others? She is still seeming quite tired. I might try free-ranging her to see how she moves with more space.

I am thinking she is just very heat stressed so she is currently chilling inside where it is cooler. I havent seen her drink much though...

I don't know much about chicken illnesses and such. Are there any chicken vets in your area? Is she itching herself?

Here, I'll tag some people. Maybe the heat is stressing her out. What's the current temperature?

Around 80 I think...we have had worse. I put her back in with the flock and replaced the water with cooler stuff.
