I recently got a gold partridge. I'm new to silkies. She didn't look healthy to me when I got her. (Pic 1)She went broody and now she looks even worse. Her skin looking yellow (pic 2)and her beek scaly. She has diariah. She still eats and drinks normal. She has new feathers growing In too. I'm really concerned. I've given her nutri dence. She refuses to drink water with poultry cell.

I suspect your Silkie has scaly face mites. Treatment is Ivermectin Pour On; use an eyedropper and put 3 drops of the liquid on bare skin on the back of her neck. It will quickly be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. Repeat again in 14 days.
Stop the Poultry Nutri Drench, it contains molasses and can cause diarrhea. Give her fresh clean water to drink. You can give her plain boiled white rice mixed with buttermilk to eat if you wish.
