Thank you, Caralouise! Goldie actually found herself about 3 small roaches to eat (Eww!) outside while she was eating grass, and gobbled up some scrambled eggs this morning. She still isn't really excited about her layer feed, but she's active and pecking at everything else. I give her some...

Goldie is eating greens and mealworms and scratching at scratch and feed like a regular hen now… 2 dust baths outside and a few outings to walk around pecking and testing bugs and greens were helpful to her morale, too. I have not force fed her in the past 2 days, and she took to getting her...

Thanks Caralouise, Goldie is actually getting a little better. We're on day 4 of the vitamin/electrolyte water, day 3 of antibiotics, and she's really starting to fight me on the feedings! She hopped out of her cage through the top while I had it open and flapped her wings and wanted to cruise...

Thanks Caralouise, and did your hen have trouble swallowing food? Mine went out again and actually tried to eat a couple of bugs, but couldn't get them all the way down into her throat. She did watch me mash and mix her gruel and took a couple of tries at it- since she seemed to perk up enough...

Goldie has been hanging in there, showing a little more energy at times, but never eating really on her own. I fed her the gruel by syringe this morning twice, and she shook half of it back at me (she did have enough energy to fight the syringe and flap her wings a little). I did put her out in...

I moved Goldie inside the house and fed her a mix of the vitamin water, layer mash, and yogurt with a few drops of olive oil- she didn't exactly like it, but she doesn't have a lot of strength to fight the feeding either. She seemed to get a little energy and momentarily shows interest in the...

Hi and thanks to everyone responding- Goldie has been dropper-fed a gruel made from her layer feed with some olive oil and the vitamin/electrolyte water, and she looks a little better. Her tail is up a little more, but she still isn't eating on her own. Her vent looked clean, and the droppings...

Goldie was even more lethargic today, so we fed her some olive oil and the electrolyte mix with a small syringe, the some layer feed watered down and with a little olive oil. She seemed to perk up a tiny bit, showed interest in her water and some scrambled eggs but never actually pecked at any...

This is a 6 mos old Buff hen, just started laying a week or so ago, and is not getting better. Goldie hasn't been here 2 weeks and she is suddenly lethargic, seems to have lost weight, and stands off by herself. She has one other BO hen buddy who is acting normal and 5 other hens that she...
