(UPDATE) Chicken won't eat, poop isn't solid

Glad she is eating:)

I would do as suggested, check her crop tonight when she goes to roost, you should be able to feel that she has been eating.
I would monitor her for several days to see how she does, you can always pull her out to dose her with some vitamins or give her some egg.
I usually give all of mine eggs once a week (or more if I'm overrun with them) eggs make a great treat for all.
 
Good sign! I think your girl should be okay. Keep an eye on her for any more suspicious activity. Does she seem to be acting normal?
I just came back home from uni to check on her. She has some food in her crop (Her crops usually around the size of a baseball, rn its the size of a golf ball) which is better than nothing and my dad told me he saw her poop and i found some solid poop in her cage (He put her inside because its super hot out there right now). So i think she's doing a lot better! I'm still gonna go out to the pet store later to get some stuff.

Probably a good idea to keep her out of the heat. I'm sure that she'd love to hang with her girls, but if you want to be safe in case she's not been drinking enough. It can be deadly to a chicken if she hasn't got enough water in her.

If that's the latest poop, it's looking much better.
It's good that she has some food in her crop tonight. Check it first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks to see that it's empty/flat.

Keep us posted.
 
Hey guys! So today she's been hanging out with her friends but she still isn't eating much. I went out yesterday and got them an electrolyte powder called Rooster Booster: Vitamins and Electrolytes with Lacto Bacillus to put in their water. She didn't seem as lethargic in the morning but now she kinda is. I think I might get her and put her away from the others for awhile to make sure she's actually eating or bring the feed and water closer to her.
 
Is her poops still o.k. or have they gone back to having a lot of white urates?
I'd say it's a mix of that and dark green solids but they're very small. I decided to isolate her again and she was eating, but not drinking i think. I bought some syringes does anyone think it might be a good idea to give her water with that?
