Sick Leghorn

[WigginsFamily]

Not sure what's going on.Poop is a little loose and yellowish brown.Her comb is all drooped over and she's not moving around alot.She didn't lay yesterday or today.

Should I start her on some Sulmet??If so, how much and how long?

Not sure but you may want to separate her from the group. Do you have a dog crate or something to put her in?

I've attached a link:

It has some basic guidelines on info (like age, feed, bedding) that will help people figure out what may be wrong.

We brought her inside and we put her in the tub in a nice box. Her feathers on her breast are starting to fall out.Her comb is flopped over. She is pretty responsive,but she isn't her normal self.She just keeps to herself. She's a 6 month old leghorn who has been perfectly healthy up until now.
