My five week old calico princess pullet is sick. Not eating, very lethargic, crop is empty.
She was ok yesterday but the last one out of the coop this morning. I had an early Dr appointment so didn't watch her during the day. This evening she was alone and just sitting with her eyes open.
She's in the bathroom in a box with a space heater set at 80° now, I gave her 1cc of rooster booster so far but that's it.
Any suggestions out there?
 
How are her poops. At this age, coccidiosis is a common illness. They have runny poops with either blood or mucus, are puffed up or hunched, are lethargic, and do not eat or drink. Corid from a feed store can help. Dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days.

She hasn't pooped since I brought her in. She came from family farm and home along with 5 other chicks that are fine.
I didn't see any weird poop in the two stalls they are in or in the run, but I wasn't looking for blood.
I'll try giving her some mash mixed with rooster booster in the next few minutes and get some corrid tomorrow if she makes it.
I feel terrible. She's so sweet.
