Another sick chicken....I also have a Black Maran about 1 1/2 years old with yellow watery diarrhea, poor appetite (separate pen from the Australorps in my other question)....have read all sorts of things .....could be viral, bacterial, could be a number of things. None of the other chickens are sick but I separated her in a "nursery" I have for sick chickens. Ideas? She is worrying me because she is kind of listless but ate yogurt I gave her and took water from a syringe
 
When was her last egg?

If she should have laid and hasn't, then work on hydration and get Calcium Citrate+D3 into her for 5 days. Just pop the tablet into the beak and let her swallow.

Check her over for lice/mites, see that her crop is emptying overnight. When was the last deworming? Getting a fecal float will at least rule out if worms are part of the problem.
