Hen sick for 2 weeks help !! Pics

That's what I would have done, but if they aren't drinking enough, they won't get enough medication. Another thing she could try is worming with something like Safeguard or Valbazen.

She is drenching her . She used ivermectin (I believe ) when she noticed this coming on if I remember correctly ..thoughts on that as a wormer ? It was pour on (again I think)

Valbazen or Safeguard are a better choice. Chicken worms have developed an immunity to Ivermectin.

Thanks soo much . When I saw her pic today I knew there was probably little that could be done

. But I hoped to learn something here in case another bird should start displaying symptoms.

When they get that sick they usually require extensive supportive care, and even them, it's often too late. If you want to learn more about supportive care, just let me know and I'll tell you what I do.

The only chance they have is to be placed in a warm room or cage and have their hydration corrected, which I'll explain more later. Of course nothing will help if the dying process has already started, which is often the case.
