Wow! Great information!
We’ve been giving her b vitamins - yes we have to syringe them into her mouth. I just read about flushing yesterday. I have Epsom salts - will try that today. Need to get molasses. I will search for how to do it.
And we made her a sling yesterday. Need to figure out...

Well, she's still alive. Yesterday she could support her weight with her right leg but had no balance. She's still eating and drinking a little for us. She's a fighter!! Still giving her yogurt and Pedialyte along with her food.

I'm a newbie. Tonight I went out to close the hen house up and one chicken was laying on her side and the others were walking on her. Butt is clear. Help!
