    Lethargic sick chicken

    Shes doing immensely better (24 hrs after first calcium and antibiotic dose). Thank you for your help! Hopefully she remains on the upswing! No egg yet today (none from any of my ladies today? But it's been super rainy and cloudy and they're old bitties...) so well see what tomorrow holds.

    Okay, yes. She ate the whole mash, which was the whole calcium pill, i smashed up the pill and mushed it together in about a 1/3 cup of yolk and nutridrench, so it wasnt much so i could make sure she ate it all. I hand fed the whole thing to her. She was very pampered. She's slightly better...

    shes still very slow. I was able to get a big mash of electrolytes, nitridrench, water and egg yolk topped with meal worms in her. Hoping that helps.

    Wound healing?

    Thank you, for the advice. Will cut out hydro, and add yolk. I was feeding her nutridrench and an antibiotic(I forgot to mention). I stopped the antibiotic after 14 days to give her system a chance to catch up. X crossing fingers!!!!
