Hi. I'm new here. Have a chicken thats about 1 year old. She's sick. This past Sunday she started keeping her feathers all puffed out...thought she may be eggbound. Checked her vent inside and out. Everything was normal. Brought her inside and kept her in a crate for 24 hours to monitor her eating and drinking. During this time she only drank and ate a small portion. Next day I put her back out and she went in the coop and back out with the others. Now she's not eating or drinking. Feathers still puffed out. No problems with poop or respiratory signs or sounds. Don't know what to do next?

All I can think of is compacted or sour crop look it up online

Is she remaining outside or is she staying inside the coop?

Could be a low hen and not being allowed to eat. I would monitor their activities and if shes doing better inside i would keep her there to regain her strength.

Welcome to BYC.
How does her crop feel?
Does the crop look really big or is there a smell coming from her mouth?
Any new chickens recently?
What does her normal daily diet consist of?

Crop is soft and not even visible. Her waddles aren't nearly as red as they were day before yesterday. Shes really skinny but don't see any lice, mites, etc. She has no odors coming from her mouth but she got clear liwuid spilling from her mouth. We've had these birds two months but never wormed them or used DE.

She also has blue tips to her comb.....is that frostbite? X Might she have gotten a chill?

I don't think so. Shes with all the others and they don't have any problem. She also wasn't the lowest in the pecking order until sh got sick
