No matter what I feed her she wont eat only drink. And I've been researching all of the treatments most of which we cant get in Canada. We can only hope she will get better on her own. I'll post more updates as I will force her to eat and drink..
 
You will need to kill the parasites. She will not get better until this happens. The only member I can think of off the top of my head in Canada is @chickens really... @chickens really do you know what product @Flock Chicken can purchase in Canada to treat mites?

I'm sorry @Flock Chicken that your hen is so weak she is refusing food. Can you try giving her something special to eat? Scrambled eggs? Yogurt? Warm oatmeal? You could even put a little molasses or honey in her water to get her something. Also, I'm not sure if you have done this, but I recommend removing her from the coop and housing her somewhere else. Even if you haven't purchased any spray or dust yet, you can still start by removing and disposing of ALL the bedding from the coop and nest boxes. I wouldn't even replace it at this point aside from just a little below the roosts.

Can you visit your local ranch store and see what type of products they may have and we can help you pick one? Look at things like horse/cattle stall spray, as well as poultry dust/sprays.

Dusting powder is the only product I know of. Someone said it's not available anymore here in Canada but I'm not sure because I still have some..
