Possible mites?

[Colt Frost]

I'm going to check for anything tomorrow, but I'm still going to almost deep clean the coop even if there's nothing. None of the others hens are missing feathers and this hen is definitely the smallest one. It's a little white leghorn.

The hen isn't doing good, she's not being very responsive. I tried giving her some water she took a little but then didn't take anymore. I put her up in a nest away from the rooster, but I have to go to work so the next time I'll see her is about 3:10, what could be wrong with her? Could she be fatigued from the rooster? Last night I found her on the ground away from the roost where all the other chickens are.

How old is she?
Have you brought any new birds in recently?
Can you post a picture of her, including one where she is missing feathers?

She’s a year old, I put some month old chicks in the side section of the coop about 2 weeks ago, I’m not at home right now but I’ll try to get one when I get home.

Thanks.
I am wondering if these new chicks brought something in that could be making her so ill.
Have you ever wormed your adult flock?
Are you familiar with coccidiosis? (it is possible that the new chicks brought in a new strain of coccidiosis that she is not "used" too or they could have brought in something a little more complicated)

When is the last time she laid an egg?

I hatched the chicks myself so I don’t think they could bring anything in, and no I’m not familiar with coccidiosis. What’s a treatment I could do to try and help her? I was going to clean the coop on Saturday but I’m going to do it today instead.

And she layed an egg a couple days ago.

Ok..since you hatched the chicks I'd probably rule out coccidiosis, but for the future the treatment is easy with CORID.
Get some pictures of the sick girl as soon as you get home.

Invest in a bottle of permethrin ...Gordon's is a good brand name...to treat for mites. DE is worthless, imo. Can you collect some fresh poop and regards n it to a vets office to check for work loads? It's fairly cheap and from my experience dog vets are willing to check it real quick for ya.

She’s holding herself up now, this morning she couldn’t even do that. I’m thinking she’s dehydrated, which I don’t know how she could be because I have water in there at all times. But she was panting And she’s excepting water if I put the water right up to the face and put Her beak in it
