Found my almost 2 year old RIR sitting by herself, picked her up she is skin and bones (it happens so fast) and empty crop. Thinking she was egg bound (she has had cracked egg on her butt feathers before, but never any problems) I put her in a hot tub for nearly an hour. She just sat there. A little runny poop came out, but that was it. Force fed her corrid water, I know adult hens rarely get cocci, but its all I have. She is just lying in the box, head down. When I come near her she looks at me, but otherwise eyes closed. Will not eat or drink, even eggs :( She is such a sweet girl and I hate seeing her suffer. Any ideas? Oh yeah, comb looked good yesterday, today it is still red, but flopping over.
 
It may not have been a good idea to give her corrid. It's best not to give medication unless there is a good chance that it will be useful. She'll probably be fine, just keep that in mind for the future. Have you dewormed them lately?
