Noticed sick hen this evening

[Brodek]

Symptoms:
Panting: temp here is currently 73
Holding wings a little bit away from body
Didn't come for treats...stayed off to the side
Lethargic
Layed earlier today
Haven't seen her poo
10 months old
Will separate tonight for closer observation

Treatment so far....
Gave a bit of Poly-vi-sol
Thinking of olive oil to aid in digestion
Maybe a bit of Epsom salts in water
Have soaked her in a warm bath

Thoughts?

Did you think about coccidiosis? Are you sure she laid? Or is trying to lay? Maybe she was in the box and couldn't pass the egg? You may want to check and see if she has an egg that's stuck.
