Depression or what?

[Eggcessive]

She may enjoy your company, and be lonely or depressed. Can you bring her inside with you inside a dog crate? See if she will eat for you. Watery chicken feed or a little cooked egg are good. If she seems normal, hold off on the Corid, but use your own judgement.

Will do. Thanks for your help!!

Dehydration may be in play here.
I'd give a dose of Sav-a-Chick electrolytes/vitamins right off the bat.

This is another thing my sister recommended.. so I have been giving her tons of water. When I went out there this morning she was standing still but when she saw me got a lot more chipper and started drinking and eating

Not just water, the Sav-a-Chick electrolytes/vitamins will help them use that water better.

Corid should be given alone as the only liquid available.
I'd give the electrolytes first...then see if you think they need corid.

I've been giving her electrolytes along with a probiotic and she seems to be doing much better. Thank you!

You should maybe find out why all your birds are dying before getting more birds.

I think they meant see if the feed store had Corid rather than chicks.

But yes, probably a good idea to figure that out. Although I think this one is doing better now.

That’s good! Sounds like she was maybe just depressed. But I’d keep an eye on her just in case!

But animals have feelings and emotions too, even some of the same ones as us, so I think it is very possible she was depressed or maybe at least traumatized or something. I mean, think about it, how would you feel if you had two of your friends just suddenly die right in front of you within a few weeks? You’d probably be depressed too. And I guess for chickens it’d probably be more akin to your family than your friends. But still. Your only friends/companions just died and you’re now alone.... that would be pretty shocking and depressing for anyone, chickens included. Glad she’s doing better now though!
