Hey guys so I woke up this morning went to feed my chickens and I saw that one was laying down I thought she was getting ready to lay an egg or something but usually when I go they all come towards me but she didn’t and I went to her and she can’t get up she can’t walk a picked her up and tried to stand her up but she falls back down I’m not sure what’s wrong with her because yesterday they we all doing good please help!
 
Take her inside, and away from everyone else, get her warm, and see if you can get her to drink some electrolyte water, I put honey in the water when they are sick like that, hoping to boost their blood sugar.

Is it okay to give her normal water with honey I don’t have electrolyte water.
 
Is she laying on her side?
Hunched back?
Has she laid recently
Is she alert?
What's her diet?
Age?
She is laying on her side I’ll provide pictures she is well fed she is 7-8 months old I don’t think she’s laid her egg yet she doesn’t wanna eat I put some food as you can see in the picture

It’s this layer food from tractor supply mixed with corn that’s what I feed all my chickens daily and their fine im not sure why shes not she also pooped this yellow watery green poop not sure why all my chickens don’t poop like that!
Ok, she may have nutrition deficiency, corn is not to be more than 10% of her diet, it's also an fairly empty calorie.
You can treat the deficiency with bcomplex tablets from the grocery store. 1/3 of one a day and cutting back on extras.
Can you feel her crop? Green usually means she's not eating or something is not moving through.

I’ve always gave her corn not sure why it’s affecting her now but thank you I’ll make sure I get this medicine for her. Yes I can feel her crop

Because nutritional deficiency is not an immediate thing. If it's 16% layer, it's barely adequate nutritionally, especially for a young growing bird like her and adding Corn just waters down the nutrition more, give her a poor diet.
