I have an 8-month-old Barred Rock hen who is going downhill. Her signs/symptoms are:
Her eyes are clear, there is no nasal discharge, there are no signs of impacted crop or being egg-bound, and I see no obvious signs of mites or worms in her stool.
I guess the only good news is that there are some periods during the day when her tail is up, and she can still make it up & down from the coop in the morning and at night (about 3ft. off the ground).
Can anyone give me some advice? I really can't afford a $50+ vet visit, but I hate seeing her so miserable, and I don't want the other girls (2 RIR's) to catch what she has.
Thanks!

- Tail down;
- Not laying;

- Odd kinda sweet/foul odor.
