What is wrong with my hen? Is this being broody?

[cnd8]

In the last 3 days, my hen has eaten much less food than normal, barely touched any of the fresh veggies I gave her, drank less water, was less active around her coop (often just laying in a corner rather than walking around proudly and making her normal noises), and has runny stool.

What could it be? What can I do?

It's not being broody. She sounds like she might be sick.

Thank you for the reply. I suspected that she may be sick. What could it be? What can I do to help her? She is pooping like crazy. I would suspect something stomach related.

How old is she?
How many birds do you have?
Have you brought in any new birds lately?
Might want to post in the disease forum.

This might help you figure it out...http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive.html

She is one year old. I only have her---just the one hen. She is breathing heavy at times now.
