I mean I have checked everything I could possible check for a reason for her not to eat hard pellets and I see nothing. I have been checking her for 15-16 days actually. I am finally getting her to eat mushy food before this I was syringe feeding and force feeding her and it was been a slow...
I am going to start today. I tried mixing it before, but we are day 2 of eating more. She will not eat eggs or any other food other than soaked pellets. It is like she can’t eat hard pellets. There is no reason why either.
I have 4 hens and I can put her in a wire cage near them and they follow her around and one, who recently became head hen, will sometimes be the only one by her. That particular hen would be my concern because she is being pretty bossy and fighting other hens. She laid near the pen today and...

She was vaccinated for Marek’s and she was not injured to my knowledge. I will research tube feeding. I syringe fed her and she was fighting. I am a bit confused, I even bought poultry cell for her water and food. She is dehydrated and the other chickens are not eating as much and I believe...
Eye is fine other than that. She is eating and drinking a little now without me forcing her. Would a warm epson soak help with reproductive problems if she has some?
