You could try enticing her with scrambled eggs or just some wet mash made with warm water and her usual chicken chow. My girls think that’s a huge treat! Good luck.

We have tried that she's our funny bird. She has never liked eating egg she doesn't even like eating grass.

Try sardines or tuna. Or kitten food (the wet kind). Or some of your leftovers from dinner.

So she's a hen now? What's her crop feel like?

Edit I see yes... ok so I'd be concerned about crop issues with not eating, access to grit?

The label instructions attached by the vet say to mix it in the drinking water. So if she's not drinking, you can give it to her orally in that correct dilution. Just go slowly, don't squirt anything with force, and let her swallow. I would give it .5 ml at a time and let her swallow, and then repeat until you've given all that she's willing to take. Do that every hour or so, or as often as you can manage throughout the day, until you see her drinking on her own. Once she starts feeling better, she will start to eat.
