Almost 5 Year Old Silkie Hen Eyes Partially Closed, and moving a little slower than usual

Yes. If you don't have any you can make your own with sugar, water and a pinch of salt

Tomato has electrolytes in it, you think she needs more than that?

Wouldn't hurt

Wouldn't hurt

Thank you for the help. She's lying down now.

I'm sorry about your hen.

Do you have photos of her?
Is she pooping?
When was her last egg?

I'd work on getting some sugar water into her, see if she perks up.

If she's not laid an egg and should have, then give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week.

Thank you.

I can get photos of her tomorrow.
Last time I saw her poop was this morning (I wasn't home for a good chunk of the day though).
Her last egg was probably over a month ago; she lays at random.

I gave her a tomato, which she ate most of.

Could you link me to some Calcium Citrate+D3 to buy?

You should be able to find it pretty much anywhere that sells human vitamins. Brand doesn't matter

Alright, thanks.

 

[FrostRanger]

Also don't fret too much over whether it's 300mg, 600mg or whatever. She's not going to be given it over long enough of a period for it to matter too much

If you have her separated out, get some photos of her poop.

You can find Calcium Citrate+D3 at most stores like Walmart, CVS, etc. or the grocery store. Generic is fine.

Must've just been the heat. She's back to normal this morning, her poop looks normal, just a little watery.
