Pullet with drooping wings and tail

[Caitlin2535]

Can someone please tell me how to help my 19 week old speckled Sussex? I noticed yesterday she was lethargic with her tail down so I added rooster booster to all water and the rooster booster food supplement. I took her away and tried to feed her chicken mush which she ate some of but not enough in my opinion and she feels very thin. Any clues as to what might be wrong and how to help her? I’ve searched all over Google and can’t come up with an answer! Please help as she looks worse today.

Update she’s in isolation and I’ve been watching her and she’s now having trouble swallowing but her crop still feels empty, it’s like it’s getting stuck in her throat first

Good evening. My first step would be to treat for cocci with Corid. Do you have it?

I just got some and added 2teaspoons per gallon as more hatchery says on their page so hopefully it’ll help her! If not I’m back to square one of what to do

You may want to do a dose just for her. Use the crop dose info on the bottle. If it is cocci, you should see a difference relatively quickly.

The bottle I got from tractor supply only has cow doses on it so I went by the doses on Moyers hatchery page and made a gallon of it and have her isolated with only that water and chickens mash , or should I try to syringe the medicine down her? And should I give some to my whole flock?
