Old chook needing sustenance

[Yvonne49]

Hello, I have an old chicken, over 6 years old and she isn’t really eating much. She’s recently been on antibiotics, so not sure if that has upset her tummy. I’ve been giving her avi lyte and avi mineral, does anyone have any suggestions of an energy slurry or high nutrient slurry they make to syringe feed? Thank you.

Have you considered plain yogurt? Moderately high protein, good for re-establishing lactobacillus cultures in the gut, some useful energy content

Chickens do not cope well with antibiotics. What was the hen taking antibiotics for?
Why are you feeding her by syringe?
