sick chicken

[Jeannesa]

Hi

I found one of my chicken by herself in the corner of the coop. She ...is not active and her eyes are closed. She seems to be breathing fine. I gave her some water and feed by shaking the container in front of her face, since she can't see. she drank and eat and she can still stand on her feet. I isolate her in the garage in a dog crate to keep an eye on her and make sure that she will not contaminate the other ones. Her eyes are not watery but shut close and her comb seem to be lame. Any idea what she could have.
As a first time chicken keeper I'm starting to panic with everything I read. So many things. Can anyone give me advise?

thank you

Sorry about your bird!

She may be egg bound. You have done everything correctly so far. You need to give her a warm bath and massage her behind area. Afterward, apply some vaseline or coconut oil to her vent wearing gloves. Here is link on further instruction.
