Hi all,
I am currently having a bad month with my flock. The major issue right now is one of my hens is extremely ill.
She is ~10 months old, a black laced Wyandotte. She has never laid.
About a month ago I noticed she had yellow diarrhea.

I gave her aquamox for maybe two weeks, and she definitely seemed better. I also put corrid in their water just in case. She was acting normal and running around with the others.
Last week the hen I had with her in her hospital coop suddenly died. I have no clue what happened. One minute she was fine (if with a bit of white diarrhea), the next she was gone.
Today I went out to check on the flock, and Daisy was still in the hen house, hunched over. She had plenty of yellow dropping below her so I know she’s not backed up, but she is extremely lethargic with a purple comb. She is sleepy and not even standing (she’s laying down with her wings spread).
I brought her inside the house so if she does end up passing at least she’ll be warm. Any ideas of what to do?? I put a dose of aquamox in her mouth just in case it’s some sort of bacterial infection. As of right now I am stumped.
I am currently dealing with another constipated chicken, and honestly I’m really feeling bad about my poultry keeping. I can’t seem to keep them healthy.
