two of the birds had a bit of a set to the day after one of them is sick. She just seems very lethargic not eating or drinking. Her vent area has lost all the feathers and she just sits on the floor. I have been giving her water with guadian angel with droper and she does seem to have picked up slightly what could it be. I will put pic of vent area next time i give her water (dont want to keep picking her up and stress her any more)

Your are doing good with guadian angel. A closeup may tell the reason for feather loss. Does she has watery poop?

I am wondering if she is egg-bound?
Does she have regular calcium?
Can you get her to a vet? - might be the only option if it's egg related.

 update on libby she has gone realy still and quiet again (pick up didnt last long)she just sits on the floor of the hospital box with her eyes closed.Her poop is soft but mostley black.She did have a little nibble at some millet but still giving water with ga by dropper.She has never been tame as such but i can just pick her up no noise or fight in her. this is the clearest pic i can get of the vent area  there is no avian vet in 50 mile been trying to find one since i lost tommy the vet i have always been with with all my other animals in the past has got people that have an intrst in birds but realy only covers things like beak trimming etc. Any ideas would be welcome so what can i try guys ?

Have you got any Calcivet?
I am pretty sure she is egg bound.

Put a few drops of undiluted Calcivet in her beak and make sure she gets it.

As BB said. You will have to put a couple of drops in her beak. No need to dilute.

I am so sorry to hear that. I use the liquid because you can put it in their water and mine love the sweet taste.

So sorry to know this. Rest in peace Libby.
Just for info, powder calcium can be used on soft food but won't work in water, and certainly won't work as life saving solution for egg bound hen.
Did you feel that she was egg bound?
