Blue/Grey Comb on hen

Hi, sorry for not updating. Her condition has only gotten worse. She had trouble breathing today and has lost her sense of balance. We do believe that this is a problem with her heart or another organs. We are also aware that her days are unfortunately numbered.
If she can't feed her self, and you only think she will get worse, which it sounds like she is, I would euthanize.
She may only get worse, and suffer, but only you can tell when the rime is right for that. I'm so sorry you have to go through this, its so hard. *Hugs* :hugs
 
You are going to need to give her food and water by hand. You can syringe water, @azygous si great at explaining that, and the best way to get food in her is to tube feed if she refuses to eat, @casportpony is good at explaining that.
How is she? I will tag a few other experts as well, but first things first we need to get her food and water, or she will die.
You should try this^ if you want to give her more time...

I am sorry to hear about her worsened condition... : (

(And you should still check around for mites......)
 
I had a female chicken and her cone on top turned purple! she died after... in my arms... :(
purple cone means the loss of air! the bird is loosing air!!
white cone means the loss of blood! the bird has mites and mites suck there blood.
like a white skinny cone ( looks destroyed) means frost bight and needs treat meant
get her to a vet! looks like mabey a really bad air loss thing!
 
My 1.5y/o Isa brown has been sick recently with it only getting worse. It started with her stopping egg laying and having a slightly purple comb. That was a few weeks ago. Fast forward to now she is very lame, eats little, still no eggs, and her comb is blue/purple. Sometimes during the day it is more pink. I don’t hear her breathing and none of my other 8 chickens have any symptoms. I’ve been unable to find lots of information on blue/grey combs so anything would help. Her poops have also been very dark green but still sorta solid. She had a bad case of bumble foot a few months ago but that has been resolved for months(solved in October). She molted in the winter/late fall and laid up until a few weeks ago. I know that Isa browns are hybrid chickens and are not meant for longevity like other hens unfortunately.
Where can I purchase terracon 25?
