My youngest girl, she's about a year and a half old, hasn't been well. She was getting picked on in the coop and then I noticed she wouldn't get up from her spot. I separated her from the others and she became worse. I thought maybe she was eggbound so I treated accordingly. She did lay an egg that day that was very soft, this was 2 days ago and she hasn't laid another since. She will stand for a moment and then immediately lay down, almost as if she falls down. I have treated again with epsom salt bath today and have placed her on a warm heating pad. She's alert, she will eat watermelon, strawberries, and worms but no chicken feed. Her comb is a bit pale but not severe, no lumps in it. She seems to be getting better but still weak. I've researched and don't have a clue. Help please. Oh, and there are no vets close to me.
