10 week old hen, head down. Help

THIS IS HER THIS MORNING

She looks to be recovering, head is up, eyes open and clear, she is sitting, eating from dropper a lot better. But no poop yet!!

Head up is always better than head down. Don't give her too much meds, so I wouldn't give her DE or other stuff. Just vitamin/electrolyte water, yogurt/wet food and corid. Keep us posted.

Update, she is still improving, still eating through the eye dropper. She pooped twice today, I've attached a few pictures. Hopefully you can tell me if it's normal or not. How long should I continue the treatment plan? I was thinking of taking her to the coop for a few minutes tomorrow. I want to see if she will eat in her own environment. Good or bad idea? Thanks again

Her poop looks normal, just a little dry like she is a bit constipated from not drinking. Corid dosage is 11/2 tsp of the powder, or 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Follow up with vitamins and probiotics in the water after treatment. If she doesn't drink well, keep trying to dip per beak in water to get her drinking.

X2 Get her to drink more. A week on the Corid. Keep us posted.

Thanks, sorry to be a pain.... should I give my other hens the Corid? Or just her? Everyone else looks healthy. Thanks again

I would treat them all at once so you are not treating different ones at different times. Corid is safe for those that are not sick.

UPDATE

Thank you all so much. 2 weeks later and she is doing great with her flock. I learned a lot, thanks again.
