Lethargic chicken with pale comb and shaking head

[picklestheduck]

Hey y’all my hen Honey has a pale comb and is slow moving and laid down in my lap which she never does, and is shaking her head oddly. She sneezed once when I set her down. She’s just over a year old and lives with 26 other chickens and the 12 ducks which are in the next pen. I have her deprecated in a stock trailer but am not sure if she will try to fly out. The neighbor next door sprays pesticide but it was a while back. She went over there the either day when she escaped. Could that have bothered her? I checked her ears for any goop and they were clear. Should I giver her nutridrench?

You can give her Nutri-Drench, that would be ok.

What's her crop like?

How much nutridrench? I've never given it to a bird before since I just bought it. I haven't felt her crop yet but I will. I assume its not super full. She didn't touch her food yesterday. I had no were secure for her overnight other than the coop with the others and I'm sure they were all exposed to what she has already if she has something. She came out of the coop much later and she walks very slowly and she didn't go to food or water, and kinda just looked at the ground and pecked at a few specks in or out of a puddle. I put her back in the stock trailer with some hay, and when I came back she was lying on her side. Not flat out just leaning to one side. She just pecks at a few specks but doesn't eat as far as I see. I'm pretty worried about her. What do you think is wrong and what should I do?

Yes her crop is completely empty. I tried to get her to eat by showing her some food, and she pecked at it but didnt get anything and then wasn't interested. I gently held her and put a little chicken food-vitamin C-water mix like a paste into her beak. She spit it out right away. I may have gotten like seriosly a couple crumbs down her but not much. She did not fight me much when I did this which no matter how much I spoil them my chickens are skittish of me. She has always tried to fight being held, but this time instead, she just laid down. What could it be? What do I do?

Also her poop looks sorta yellowish. She has it stuck to her feathers a bit.
I have a video of her shaking her head, but I don't know if I will be able to attach it. I know youtube is the best option but I don't know if I will be able to do that.

Please someone help she's declining. She won't eat and won't drink and acts almost dazed or something. Her eyes don't look right. There's no injury or anything wrong I just mean she seems like unfocused or something. She ate a tiny bit of scrambled egg, a tiny bit of cat food, and a tiny bit of mealworms. She won't drink as far as I can see. I put her in a crate in my barn with food, water, and grit. She ate some shavings out of her bedding. I'm worried.

Are her pupils dilated? Any chance she could have gotten into anything toxic?
What is the temperature where you are? Is she holding wings away from her, showing signs of heat stroke? Are you seeing any more respiratory symptoms? Can she stand? You said her droppings were yellow, anything that looks like internal laying? No egg yolk, or egg white?
I would give nutria-drench, as many drops as you can get into her. You can't overdo it.

Right now, I would really just focus on getting her hydrated. When hens are declining water is most important as dehydration can cause them to down spiral quickly. I would take a syringe with electrolyte water, and offer her some by making a drop by her beak, that or dipping her beak. Will she drink on her own at all? I basically skimmed your posts so may have missed something.

Also, about her eyes, can she see at all? I like to do the flinch test. Take my hand and move it very quickly towards one eye at a time as if I was going to slap them. If they flinch and pull their heads away, they can see. If not, than she might have trouble seeing things.

When did she last lay an egg?

I'd work on hydrating her first.
You can direct dose her with the PND at a rate of 1cc per 3 pounds of weight once a day.

She may be having some reproductive difficulties. You mention her poop is yellow. Can you get photos?

She can still see and she runs from me when I try to catch her. There may be a possibility she got into something toxic. The neighbor sprays pesticide, and my dad and brother work on cars and have tools and engines, and gas tanks, oil, brak clean, etc, everywhere. I am really careful and get after them if they leave stuff out. I checked her ears for any sign of goop or anything and they were clear. I'm unsure of when she last laid an egg but I thinkits been at least 2 days. I tried dipping her beak but she immediately flings any water out. Same with food. I can try a syringe but I doubt she will drink it. No shes not holding wings away or panting or anything. The temperature is going up and down since we are in Michigan. SOme nights its 55 degrees fahrenheit and then some days it will be 75-90. No she doesn't have signs of an egg break inside her or anything.

the last one is this mornig.she seemed pretty alert.
