About my chicken.?

my chicken is sick and i give her medicine. her comb is orangy red. and she has diarrhea, sleepiness, and loss of apatite. is she sick is she okay? or does she has a disease? can you tell me what kind of sickness is it and if it is contagious to humans and can you tell me if she is going to be fine. or if she has a disease can you tell me the name. or maybe she is just sick and will get better. can someone help?
Answers:
What kind of medicine did you give her? Diarrhea, sleepiness, and loss of appetite are vague symptoms that could mean anything, maybe some sort of infection. As for comb color, usually when a chicken is sick the comb will turn pale or blue...never heard of orangey colored. Whatever she has is probably not contagious to you, but always wash hands, just in case. You should probably call a poultry vet for advice, if you havent already, and in the meantime, bring her inside in a quiet place, not too hot or cold, and get her to drink by dipping her beak in clean water and give her some food.
depending on the age of the chicken, it could range from a high variety of illnesses.
wear gloves when you handle her.an its best to take her to the vet. Run now fast!!
