Sick hen. HELP!

[Bigwig]

My sussex hen has stopped eating and is inactive. She drinks and sometimes forages with the other hens. I have (had) another hen (barred rock) who showed the same symptoms and her comb was purple. She (the barred rock) died last night. What can I do for my other hen? What is this disease?

Are there other symptoms? Anything different like runny poop, watery eyes, weight loss, nasal discharge? The more detailed you can be the more likely the group will be able to help.

She has diarrhea, poop on her behind, and her eyes are half closed. She seem to be interested in the calcium lumps in her coop that I leave available though she still won’t eat her pellets. She is considerably lighter than usual.
