Sleepy looking, stands like vulture, droppings all over back feathers

Is sounds like a classic case of Coccidiosis. There is a great story on it in the March/April issue of Poultry Magazine.

Well, just an update. We had such cruddy weather here over the weekend and did nothing to Red. She ended up dying on her own.

We did not do any autopsy or anything like that. Figure there must have been something wrong with her all along as she never laid for us. We'll never know what really got to her though. Lots of reading here on the forum for sick chickens.
Now we are down to 2 hens. Next task, figure out the easiest way to add to the flock!

So sorry to hear...
