For some reason it’s not eating food or drink it’s water. It poops and pees. Which is good. But it won’t eat much it rarely touches its food my Orpingtons way their food but my silkie hen won’t. I’m wondering what’s causing this. I have two German Shepard’s and they look like they are trying to destroy the chickens home and eat them
 
Can you send a picture of where they are living? Also when you say pew, is there actual liquid coming out of just a regular liquid-ish poop. Also, is this your first time housing chicks.

They aren’t chicks they’re chickens I can’t send pic because privacy yes the poop is liquid and it has white that’s information from the silkie
 
Any red color in the poop, limping, or saggy crop. Can you send a picture of the hen? They could also be stressed due to the German Shepherds.
 
Okay so if the poop is red they probably have cocci. This is a common chicken disease. You can treat this with some Corrid, which is put in water to treat this. You should be able to get this at a local feed store. This should help your hen that is not eating, but if she is already at this point then it might be to late for her but this should save your other hens from a similar fate.
