I have a 2 and a half year old chicken that hasn't been acting right for the last 3 days although she appears to be a tad better today. Her comb is droopy and her bottom is wet. Her poop is whitish/yellowish/green and she is slow getting around. She may have passed a rubber egg yesterday but I can't be sure because I have other chickens. I've picked her up to see if I can feel anything and I couldn't but I don't have a clue as to whether I am doing that right! She is eating and drinking a little today where she wasn't too interested in it yesterday. She also seems a little less dazed. We live in Fl and it's been running in the 90's but they free range during the day and have plenty of shade and cool dirt to lay in. Any help is appreciated!

It will only let me upload one picture so I can't attach one of her poop. :(
 
When you can, poop photos may help:)

Heat can be stressful, so see that she is drinking well. Laying a soft shell egg is very hard, so offer some extra calcium and vitamins. She may benefit from clean-up and soaking in epsom salts.

Keep watch on her, if she continues to be lethargic, separate her so you can monitor her more closely.
