I have a 4 month old Pav who has been under the weather. Three days ago, I noticed her being kind of listless and hunched over. She has never been a ball of fire like the Swedish Flower hen and Hmong roo I got at the same time from Sugar Feather Farms. I have started her on poultry cell. She is isolated to eat because she won't fight for it. She drinks very little. I isolated her to get a stool for a float. No mites or lice that I can see but I am checking again at midnight tonight. I am at a loss. My vet admits she knows little to nothing about chickens, but can do a fecal float for me. She is not laying yet. From what I have heard about Pavs, she won't be laying much anyway (coop candy). Egg bound is likely not the case, plus they get worse so much faster. Coccidiosis? Worms? Mites. Lice? She seemed a little better tonight and she still will eat, but she seems so listless and weak. Adding pics of her stance and stool.

No mites or lice-although I have a problem with about half of the chickens in my coop! Clean out time tomorrow. The have a couple of good dust baths but it has rained so much that can't go into their usual dusting holes...

Fecal float test said no worms or coccidia. I am going to torpedo feed her and see if that will induce her to drink water.
