My chicken has been lethargic for the past four days. She's eating and drinking fine, but she doesn't make any noise when I touch her feathers. Her breathing seems a bit heavy or labored, but otherwise, she's okay. She's slow and spends most of her time standing. When I take her out, she scratches the ground and pecks around. At night, I bring her inside, and she stays in her nest box. I took her to the vet, and they confirmed she isn't egg-bound. She doesn't have runny eyes or nose, and her wattle appears normal. Her droppings are a little watery, but mostly fine. She hasn't been laying many eggs lately. She's almost exactly three years old, and none of my other chickens are showing similar symptoms."
