Ok. Is there anything I can do to help them get going?

I agree. It sounds like something is wrong with her eye. If you are having trouble getting food/water into her you can look up tube feeding. Lots of good threads about it on here.

I have a flock of heritage breed hens and one rooster. They have finished their molt and they look beautiful but, nobody is laying. There are no mites or lice and I deformed them recently. They are getting a higher protein feed than usual (leftovers from when they were molting) There is a light...

This is super cool! Thanks for posting.

You should edit he topic of your post so people know what you are asking now. I'm sorry that you had to have sick birds :( it's never fun. Especially when it happens like that.

So how cold hardy are we talking about? Could it live outside (with a propper hutch full of hay to burrow in) in minus 25 celcius weather? It gets really cold here.

Thanks. They do not want her to be alive. We will have to ship.

I have considered that. Wondering if there are any other options

I have a sick hen that I need to put down. The body needs to be intact to send for necropsy. I could let her starve as she is not eating and I am tube feeding her but that is a terrible way for her to die. Thanks.

She is definatly dehydrated. She won't eat or drink. I have been tube feeding her Gatorade and antibiotics twice a day.
