Sickly Chicken Advice

[Folara]

I have a 3 year old Olive Egger hen that became hunched, low tail, closed eyes, and not moving much last evening into this morning. I went out to buy some supplies for her today and when I got home she perked up a lot - I saw her eat and drink a little and now she's out in the sun showing a little interest in pecking the ground. No longer hunched and her tail is upright, eyes are much brighter.

I'm wondering if she has an underlying sickness that caused her to decline in the cold hours of the evening/morning (low 30s F) and once it got warmer (60s F) she felt better. I plan on separating her this evening so she can stay warmer and I can monitor her food/water/poop situation.

Any thoughts on what could be affecting her? I will be giving her nutri-drench and I also have calcium citrate, fish amoxicillin, and corid power - should I try out any of these to help her feel better? This is my first sick chicken after 3 years of owning so I appreciate any advice or thoughts you guys have!

So it just started yesterday evening?
Did she by any chance lay an egg this morning?


She should not be affected by the cooler temps. Chickens do better in cooler weather than very warm weather.
