The vet said it was ok to combine.

I've been keeping her in the house for a few days, but I let her out yesterday. First thing she did was eat a worm! I was so relieved because I was very worried that she wasn't eating in the dog crate. All she was getting was whatever I syringed into her and, as that is very hard to do, it wasn't very much. So now she's scratching around outside eating bugs, and also eating her feed. She's not just standing in one spot staring off into space for hours anymore.

She's not 100% yet, and her 3 coop mates are not being very nice to her (that was never a problem before), but she is staying out of their way so it's not too bad. Will have to keep an eye on that.

I don't want to jinx it but I'm feeling cautiously optimistic

I'm glad your were able to consult your vet about the meds.

Hey! That's great that she is moving about a little, eating/drinking on her own. I hope she continues to recover.

Usually when a hen has been separated from the flock like your girl has, the others will view her as a stranger or intruder - so they can be peckish and sometime downright nasty (hens can be quite brutal). A few pecks here and there is normal, but if they start to attack, brawl or draw blood, then separate her. You may want to search for integrating a single chicken (hen) for some tips if it becomes too bad.

Please keep us posted.
