The first thing I usually do when I don't know is if not egg bound, or crop being rock hard, I treat for coccidiosis.

Are you sure it's a she?

x2..check and see if her crop feel bigger than the other chickens you have and let us know how it feels if it is. In the meantime add vitamins and electrolytes in her water to help perk her up a bit. Let us know if you notice any other symptoms going on with her. Keep us posted!

Has she started laying yet? If not, perhaps she is getting ready to lay...when my silkie first layed, she became clingy, and a little more vocal...the panting thing, I see with my hens right before they lay...I'm sure it's stressful on them to lay an egg...I'd keep a close eye on her in the meantime...

she hasn't laid yet. and she's not getting up today.

I am sorry but it is hard to tell what is going on with her. Are you able to get any fluids in her and if so can you add the vitamins and electrolytes? Do you notice any other symptoms? Do you think she has cocci?

She's not taking anything at all. The other two are still fine, they're up and playing. They were looking at my little sick one and crying earlier. I can't see anymore spystoms. My moom said she was eating till noon then just stopped and wolked away. she's not atentive, standing or now laying around, not eating or drinking. Yesterday her stool looked liked thiick milk.
