So, again, my chickie Albina is still sick. Her face is pale but I normally put her into the sunlight to get color back on her face. At first it was a deep red and now it is a light pink. Today she is not making any noises and when I touch areas she usually makes noises there are no sounds. She's weaker than normal and really slow. Her plumage is growing back. She does not bathe herself at all. She's a year and a month old. She's the lowest ranked in the hierarchy. She's also the smallest of all my chickens. She's been isolated for a couple months but they always go outside together. I've cleaned her eyes since the problem first began there and she is breathing heavy almost all the time. Everything has to be quiet in order to hear her breathe heavily. Since it's summer they always pant. She's not eating today and only drinking water. So I liquefied some carrots and radishes and fed it to her.

Can you stuff some grubs into her beak? Also offer scrambled egg yolk. And undiluted nutri drench or water sweetened with honey or maple syrup. She needs to eat. Also she needs to calcium, that will perk her up, do you have calcium citrate?

Does she have a respiratory illness? Have you tried vetrx? It helps a lot.
 
Have you checked her for mites or lice? She looks very pale. I would also take some droppings in to your vet to check for coccidiosis and worms. Valbazen or SafeGuard liquid goat wormer are good for worming.

She started eating today but I don't have any calcium citrate, can I just feed her food heavy in calcium? I think she does but I haven't been able to know how to cure it. I'll try your suggestion and let you know the results🥰

I did start putting worming treatment into her water when she drinks for a month but it didn't seem to make her better or worse.
 
Calcium citrate takes effect quicker. But extra calcium in her diet wouldn't hurt. I'm so glad she's eating! That's a great sign!

What kind of wormer are you using?
