HELP!! My hen is lethargic, shivering, and her head is falling

[RoosterHuggerLiz]

I have a 4-year-old hen named Mel that often strays from my yard, today when going to put them away I found her in the corner of the coop using the wall to hold her head up, when I picked her up she was shaking and lethargic - how can I get her energy up? I can't bring her into the vet until Monday!

She's my favorite and oldest chicken! We do have a rooster and she is his favorite which might be adding on to the stress -

I thought it was heat stress but her comb is still bright red - I'm getting fluids and egg yolk into her to try and give her some energy, what else can I do to help her?! Any ideas on what happened?!

Hello! Is she still laying? How is she eating? Do you have aqua mox on hand?

I’m no expert, but apart for vitalized water and high protein feed I would keep her away from the rooster. Can you get your hen in the house or the rooster in a separate run?

She does still gave me two-three eggs a week and no I do not- I already checked for egg binding if that's what you're thinking, negative

I don't have any high protein feed other than chick feed and quail feed at the moment - would either of them work? And I'm planning on keeping her inside for the next week or two just until she starts getting a bit better, I have a separate 60 square foot pen I might put her in with one of my old roosters (he's 9 and hasn't mounted a hen in years)

Here's a picture of her poo and her neck is sticking out weirdly

Does she have a lump on her neck?

Chick feed with water to make a kind of porridge sounds good. Im not sure about the old rooster if she’s really sick.

Just went back there again and there's a second hen in the same spot! This time with fresh rooster scars

I can only feel the normal neck
