:hugs I'm sorry to hear about Broken Toe :hugs Thank you for sharing your favorite photo of her❤️ Thank you for taking care of her and making every effort to give her comfort. I'm sure you will miss her and it was sad to see her go. You mentioned you had some questions, I may have missed...

Sounds like the crop is sour. This can often happen when a hen is slowing down like she is. If you aren't going to put her down right now, then address the crop symptoms. Likely they will be a bit hard to resolve since she's got a bloated abdomen. Have you talked with your parents about...

I'm glad she was able to get outside on such a nice warm day.

See if she shows interest in eating if she's outside with the flock. Sometimes being around other chickens encourages them.

Sounds good. You're doing the best you can with her. Have you given her any coconut oil?

Yes, the food looks fine.

Are you giving her food and water late at night? How many hours is it between her last eating/drinking session at night and then when you check in the morning? I think the elixer is probably fine, looks like the little cardboard seal has come out of the cap. Sometimes that happens. If the...

I'm glad Rose enjoyed the soak feed too. For me, I found a 2 gallon bucket at Lowes and use that for my wet feed. Of course, I don't fill it up with feed, I only make enough soaked feed for one day, making it nightly. You may be able to find a suitable bowl or bucket at the feed store...

Help her as long as you think you should. Can you have your Dad or Mom help you evaluate her and discuss if her time has come or that you should continue with giving her extra care for a while longer? I don't know about the seal on the elixer. Do you think it came off when you opened it...

It looks like a bit of intestinal lining/shedding in the poop. It's improving a little bit, but the yellow urates are still there. You could try giving her a round of antibiotics, Amoxicillin is a good choice to use, but do be aware, it's not a cure all. Whatever the cause of her decline...

I wouldn't feel inside her vent. The yellowish urates tell a tale. I've seen that in hens that have reproductive problems and start having a swollen abdomen. Letting her get up, move about, enjoy some sunshine...all that is a very good idea. If it's warmed up outside, she may enjoy going out...

Glad to see she's eating and drinking a bit. Checking her crop when she's been eating and drinking, it should feel a bit squishy like there's food/water in it. Re-check again first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. She should be acclimating to the indoor temps. As...

For sugar water, it's 1teaspoon sugar per cup of water. How's she doing? Looks like you've done a good job getting her kennel set up. She looks comfy in there:)

Please keep me posted on how she's doing.

You can wipe it out, with a wet cloth, let it dry. If you do use the Lysol wipes, let that dry well and make sure any lysol odors are gone before you put her in the carrier. I think she will be ok with those temperatures. When a hen is not well, they often need some warmth, so it may feel...

You have a carrier? I would put something soft in there like a towel or if you have them, some puppy pads work well to catch droppings. Offer her water, you can give electrolytes or a little sugar water if you wish. Food, if she's willing to eat that's fine, if not, then it's ok as long as...

She's not feeling too well is she:( You may want to bring her in, give her a clean up. Dry her well. Do offer her some water and food before she goes to sleep. Check her crop again in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. The poop is not normal. It reminds me of what I've...

For the epsom salts, follow the amounts on the packaging. She doesn't really need a soaking, she needs a butt washing. After you clean her up, dry her really well, use a hair dryer if you need to. I normally don't separate a hen from her flock unless she's getting picked on. It's...

I would wash up her poopy feathers, while you're doing that I would look through her feathers for bugs. Lice are fairly small bugs that you would see moving about they can be a from light tan to darker brown. Mites usually accumulate around the vent, under the wings and live in housing. I...

Check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink, it should be empty.
