Hopefully someone can help. Does she seem lethargic?

Her tailfeathers are down like a dog's tail between it's leg. she is walking in the brooder pen I have her in but not her usual skittish self.

I'd also like to add...her tail is pointed down. She's a Silver laced Hamburg so she holds her tail up high usually. I there anyone who has any other suggestions.

With a tail down this makes me think of some kind of reproductive issue. I'm not sure experienced here, so might now be able to diagnose for you. If it is a reproductive issue, you'll want to get calcium in her ASAP. Calcium Citrate is best, but if you don't have that then 1/2 a Tums will do. This will help her expel any egg material.
If its internal laying or something similar, she might need antibiotics. I'm not experienced enough here to suggest which. I hope this helps! Crossing my fingers for you and your girl!

EDIT: I was incorrect. The best calcium to give her is calcium CITRATE. It is absorbed the fastest and most efficiently. Sorry for the incorrect info! I hope someone more experienced will reply soon.

Update on Ivy, I took her to the vet, x-ray showed no bound egg. No parasites in her very runny diarrhea. He said she is very sick and only weighs 2.4 lbs. She got a shot of antibiotics, and I will administer the rest of the week by mouth. He said if she doesn't eat enough to slow the diarrhea it's very likely she won't make it. I had a cooked yam (which she loves) and mixed it with her feed. she ate about a tablespoon. Her crop looks full. But she still had a squirt poo right after eating. She ate some meal worms too. She is drinking water a lot...should I take it away for the night? HELP!!!! The water I mean.

Did the vet say what is wrong with her exactly? Is it internal laying? I know that can require antibiotics. I tagged some more experienced members. Hopefully you can get help soon!

He was shocked at how bad her poo was. He talked about Salmonella, and if she had this she likely wouldn't make it. What is the other thing besides salmonella she could have gotten. If she was sick with Salmonella my whole flock would be sick and they are fine,

... Another reason to trim off poopy feathers under the vent, instead of washing!

I did this last night, It was all pasty again.

Aww, I see. This is in the behaviors section. In the begging it was about behavior. I'm going to ask a mod that this be moved to the ER forum.

Did the vet run any diagnostics to test for Salmonella, worms, etc.?

How old is this pullet? A full mature Hamburg only weighs around 4lb +/_ so...hard to know if she's underweight, how did he determine that?
