My pullet is acting lethargic.

I have a mottled silkie pullet she is about 6 months old and not laying yet. i noticed today as I was doing my chores that she was just sitting down with her neck hunched not really moving. Usually she does that because her crest it too big but she is usually more alert and gets excited to eat. Today she wasn't really too thrilled. I noticed she has some poop around her butt and i think she has some white stuff in her mouth. She is not breathing hard or anything but she is a little slow. I gave her some oats and she was pecking at them

Is there a way to get photos of the white stuff in her beak?

I'd check her over for lice/mites. Give her bum a wash up and check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight.

If she normally has a hard time seeing, then giving the face a trim can be helpful. More info along with video in this Post. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ff-and-on-since-a-chick.1664431/post-28828823

When was she last dewormed?
What do you normally feed her?

Hi sorry for the late reply! She usually eats this silkie chick feed from tractor supply called nature wise i believe combined with game feed and oats. I learned that from a silkie breeder. She also gets poultry cell once a week only in her water. I did forget to mention that her poop looks like boogers. I have never dewormed a chicken before
However, I will give her a bath in the morning for sure since her booty is pretty dirty and a haircut lol.
