I have a poorly hen with the same type of symptoms. Took her to the vet and he diagnosed mycoplasma. She's had a couple of shote of Oxetetracyclin and she's a lot better. Only thing is I've had to being her indoors....the spare room in fact......and I have someone staying with me too at the moment! The hen has'nt complained tho'!!!

I was thinking Mycoplasma too agapanthus. It can often creep in as a secondary infection and be quite difficult to treat
