So, I have a 2 year old hen named Oreo, (she is a 2nd Generation Brahma) and she has been drinking excessively and eating only once a day, and she is still walking and pecking around, just not moving much. We have ruled water belly and egg bound out, and we have no clue. Could anyone help? Thanks!
 
Could it be overheating? What's the temperature where you are at? Symptoms sound like overheating at first glance.

Post pictures if you can.
 
It wasnt overheating, she was just barely walking around and drinking a ton. Thanks for your help, but she is dying and at the point where we cant help her, thanks though!
 
Is she crop empty first thing in the morning before eating and drinking, or is it full and firm or squishy? What do her poops look like? Is her tail position up or down? Can you see if she has any lice or mites moving on her skin below her vent and elsewhere?
 
Her crop was a little squishy before she died, what would that be? Poops were abnormal for a bit but when she was dying were normal, her tail was up, and there were no mites
