Does anyone know how to tell if a chicken is really ill?

While I've been tending to the chickens, making sure that they eat their meal, but I've noticed that recently a couple of them won't eat and I'm worried that it's because they are ill. I've never really dealt with chickens before so I have little to no idea of how to tend to them if they are ill and I was kind of hoping there might be someone around who would have some idea.

I'll be very grateful for your help.

I'm not going to bite a chicken!

I don't think that would work anyway and would only hurt it.

[Considering she had no idea if the bird was actually ill. Even if it was something she could do, she wouldn't think of biting it just incase it could effect people.]

One of those types that don't eat meat? You mean like a vegetarian?

I understanding biting a chicken when it's dead because that's when they get eaten, but when they are alive I guess... I'd feel bad about it because they would feel it.

'S why I said y' ain't gotta bite it hard. Jus' 'nuff t' get the taste in yer mouth. Hell, if yer a human... I dunno. Maybe smell it? Look at it? The hell're humans good at, anyway?

I am human, but I do believe there are ways, but I wasn't raised as a vet so I wouldn't know how to check if a chicken is ill or not.

I guess like normal people checking the temperature of them is always a start. Also there are things humans are good at, it's just different for each person.

Cooking, fighting using my legs. The second one I guess wouldn't be as common, I suppose.
