Hi everyone. I have a hen who has been showing lethargic behavior for several days, but was not sitting in a nesting box. She tried to stick with the flock but as time went on she stayed in the opened coop. I was concerned she had fly strike as I saw poop on her butt. I gave her an epsom salt bath and cleaned her up; but her vent looked normal. The vent color was not pink, more pinkish to milky coloring (is that okay?) She seems/looks puffy. No runny nose or watering eyes. Not eating much or drinking as far as I can tell. She is pooping broody looking poops, runny white with green. Her comb is a little purplish at the tips (I learned that is a sign of not get enough oxygen...?). She's been in my bathroom since Sunday afternoon (this is Friday 10/10/2025). I have tried giving her electrolites with vit B12 supplement through a syringe, she takes a little bit from it. She's not wheezing, but when I pick her up I can hear a little rattling in her breath. I cooked an egg for her, not interested. She is quarentined in my bathroom, and has food and water... so is she being ultra broody or is she sick? I read that chickens will only last 3-4 days without food or water, is this true? We are on day 5 of these symptoms, no better, no worse. Anyone have thoughts or ideas please comment! Thank you
