I have a chicken that has been sick on and off for about a month. At first she was acting lethargic and couldn't fly up to her nesting box or the roost we have (and she was still laying then). And then she started to get a little bit better, she was walking around acting normal and I thought it was just a little sickness that she had gotten over. Then two days ago I went out to the coop in the morning and she was practically hanging off the roost, just limp over it like a rag. So I picked her up and put her in one of our nesting boxes with a bunch of fluff, some water, and a little bit of food. She didn't eat anything but she did drink some water and she seemed to at least perk up a little bit by lifting her head and being alert. Also she stopped laying eggs. So tonight I brought her inside and she has some moist heat and a heat lamp, (thats what it said to do if she possibly has egg binding in her body. But I'm not sure because she isn't even straining to push an egg our or anything.
So her full list of symptoms are: Lethargic, won't stand very steadily, Weak, Stopped laying, some sort of stuffy nose (she is breathing out of her mouth, but it is the first night she is doing so).
Also i noticed that she has some black spots on her comb, but I can't quite tell if they are all scabs, (some are for sure scabs from the healthy ones picking on her) or something else.
She is less than a year old.
Any advice would help
