3 days ago one of my silkie 18 ( or so) week olds didn't go into the pen. In the morning she was sitting right where I put her hadn't moved and when I put her out she still wasn't active. So I took her inside to isolate her and noticed she was also not eating or drinking and making a smacking sound. She gets up and down, sleeps a lot, moves from side to side in the pen. her vent is clean, she has pooed twice they are small but normal ( expected because she wont eat or drink.) her crop is clear, her eyes are clear ( as far as I can tell, shes very fluffy) croup is empty, breathing is clear.
I have given her sulfed in the little water I can get down her in case of cocci, and rooster booster vits in case of brain swelling. ( don't see any pecks, but all I could think of)
I am dribbling water on her beak every hour or so, and got her to eat a tiny bit of yogurt, but no other treats like black solider flies or melon. I'm betting she is dehydrated after 2 days of not drinking, but that all I can figure out.
Anything else I should be checking for? She is very friendly and Id like to do what I can for her.
