I am in need of advice for my pullet.

She has been VERY lethargic. I wondering if she is close to laying her first egg and that is why she is so tired???
She lays down a lot and sleeps a lot
This morning when she put her facedown to eat out of my hand she threw up! I was shocked. She also has been soiling herself. She is taking an epsom salt bath right now to remove poo from her bum

Please see photos attached

I got her April 11th and I believe she was three-five weeks old

Her bright yellow poop indicated that she may have a reproductive disorder or liver problems. So, she is not yet laying, and is around 16 weeks old? I would try to get her on amoxicillin, an antibiotic that treats infections. Aqua Zole amoxicillin is available online. Is she drinking plenty of fresh water? Poultry NutriDrench or electrolytes would be good also. The green in her poop can be from not eating, and the yellow is yellow urates from bile. Does she feel like she has fluid in her lower belly?

Yes, lots of fresh water. She seems very thirsty, laying by the drinker.
I have 1 fresh water, 1 electrolyte water, and 1 water with apple cider vinegar. So she has options as well.

I’ll see if she’ll eat some meal worms from me.. and check her lower belly
