This morning I found one of my hens laying in the coop with her eyes shut. I brought her inside, placed her under a heat lamp and tried to get her to eat a bit (yogurt and water with some nutri-drench). She ate barely any of it and I felt like she was about to pass away...very slow breathing and didn't want to keep her eyes open and wouldn't stand. I wrapped her in a towel and left her in a box in the warmth for the day, convinced that when I got home I would have a dead chicken.
Well I got home and she is still alive. She got the towel off herself and was looking around. I picked her up, put her on the ground and she actually stood and ate and drank a bit, and then actually walked over to the crate where I'm keeping a leghorn recovering from a leg injury.
Problem is she is clearly still very sick and had this bright green poop. I can't see worms but she's definitely losing weight. She's 2 years old and I don't see mites or lice.
Thoughts?!?!
(I am also searching through old threads but thought I might get a faster answer here. Worms? Infection?)

I think she was just too far gone.
