Ok I just successfully tube fed an oz of water mixed with a poultry electrolyte blend. I'll soak some food and do that later! She really fought me on the tube. Hopefully I will get better at it soon. About to upload the youtube link

Congrats! Some fight more than others, but keep at it and you master it.

Here's a video but you can't really see much

Can you get some close-up pictures of her eyes?

do not want to butt in is it possible she was injured when the cockerel was mounting her ?

 

[Jessicanentwich]

She was injured on her back. It seems to be healing well and not too deep

Hmmm her pupils do appear different from each other

, I'm not a vet, nor an expert, but it's been my experience when they have eyes that look like that it's Marek's.

Yeah we had it in our flock ages ago but only one chicken ever died. After just having a mild limp for like a month. Guess I should have thought of that! Oh well Ill just feed her and see if she gets in good enough shape to go back with the others. All of em probably have it anyway, plus now I learned how to tube feed a bird! Lol
