I have a Orpington hen that isn’t cross beak but her beak over grows and I have to keep it trimmed. @cmom what is your heritage breed?

So a little help guys, she is still not eating, eating little bits every now and then, she is still drinking. I wonder if she may have caught a stomach bug? She is loosing weight, I can now feel her chest bone. I'm running out of options to feed her, at this rate I might have to put her down so she doesn't suffer. What do you guys suggest?

 

[Miss Lydia]

How about a vet is that feasible? Have you tried making her feed into soup using warm water if she is drinking she may just drink her feed.

So update, she is eating again hurray!! There are no avian vets near me and my vets haven't got a clue. She is now on a mixture of feed to try and bring her weight back up before winter. She is currently on peas, small handful of corn, chick crumb and I am now just introducing a growers mash to her. Anyone have any other suggestions?

 

[Miss Lydia]

If she is eating all of what you just said I'd just keep on with what your doing only thing I would suggest is a good poultry vitamin.
Great to hear she is doing so well.

Add water to her feed so it's easy to consume. A wet soupy feed.
