Ok, that is better than dead. I would stop the duramycin treatment unless you feel and see that the chicken is getting better than at onset. Remember no more than 14 days for Duramycin. If she is drinking little fluid you may have to drench her with a syringe and tube attachment. Be sure you are going into her crop and not her trachea. She needs as much fluid as you can get her to take. Is she still experiencing diarrhea? A picture of the poop would be great if possible, gross yes, but very helpful. Picture of the whole bird is also good if possible. If so then definitely try to drench her with the Duramycin water mixture. She needs water to keep her systems from shutting down. Try soaking her feed if you can and she won't need much feed but it will help get the meds into her. Just do a small amount at a time.
Sick bird is no fun, but the good learning that comes from it will make you more confident in the future. How are the kids taking it?
