My red frizzle cochin omelet is not doing so well. I saw her in the run this morning very weak and her eyes were starting to close then open and repeat. Please help me she is the sweetest little chicken i have. I don't want to loose her! She is now finally drinking but not eating I put her in our rabbit cage seperate from the others. She is only a year old. Please help me I do not want to loose her! Here she is. Please!!!!

Can you give some more info so we can try to help?

How old is she?, what is her diet? Have you checked for mites & worms? Does her poo look normal? Is she laying? Is it too hot there?

She would just sit in the corner I brought out the food bowl and usually she is the first one over to it. I haven't seen any markings where the others have been picking on her she has never been sick before. Her comb is a little pale but red.
She is 1 year old. We dusted them for mites a couple weeks ago I feed them layena, oystershell, fruits and veggies, and scratch but not in the summer time. She has not laid since her mate died. I live in Florida but there water and food has always been plentiful. What exactly is her poo supposed to look like?

here's a guide to chicken poop: http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0

Maybe get her some electrolytes in Pedialyte? I've been giving that to my chickens on hot days (I live in Maine so I'm sure it's not as bad as it is in FL).

Make sure she is in a dark and quiet area, this will help keep her calm and unstressed. You might try a little yougart and see if she'll eat a little of that. Good Luck

By what I saw her poop looks normal.

Does she seem to be week?
