I have about a 2 month old silkie that has poop that looks like a worm. It is white and sticky. She is not eating or drinking and doesn’t move around a lot. She also sneezes a bunch and wheezes. What is wrong with her? She was fine yesterday. I separated her from the others in case she is contagious. She also opens her mouth when she breathes. Here is a video of her

I'm sorry no one answered your thread.
How is your chick doing?

If you can get some photos of her poop that would be good.

It does sound like she's got some type of respiratory condition going on, do you notice if she's got watery/bubbly eyes or is there any mucous/yellow pasty material inside her beak?

Check to make sure her crop is empty first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks.

How long have you had her?

She may be suffering from respiratory disease - without testing, it's hard to know which one. An antibiotic like Tylosin may help with symptoms if it's a bacteria like infection like Mycoplasma. Keep in mind that antibiotics are not a cure for respiratory diseases, birds are still carriers of the illness even if they feel better and show no symptoms. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044
 
Thanks for responding! She is doing better today-less sneezing and she has more energy. Her poops are getting better too. She is about 2 months old. Last night I gave her a dose of La200 that someone recommended to me and she is feeling much better. I have her separated from the flock, and she keeps trying to escape, which is good that she is up and about.

Glad to hear she's doing better:)
