DESPERATE...PLEASE HELP!

I think that just means that avoiding extra light to stimulate laying.

Oh wow I have a long ways to go. I read it backwards then. Sorry

My guess is she is sick and we don't exactly know why yet but your other chickens are picking on her because they do that to a sick hen. That would explain the eye and roosting early. Staying to herself.

Cab you get your husband to hold her so you can pry her beak open to see if she has yellow sores inside her mouth? That would pretty much clinch the wet pox diagnosis.

But if she actually has already had fowl pox and she got over it, she should not have gotten it again.

Another thing it could be is sinusitis. But I doubt it would cause her to be as listless as she is.

Do you have a small dog carrier or crate that can sit on top of the washer or drier? I really do think she needs warmth for a good chance at recovery.

Hug them extra for me!

A video of my welcome home committee and when my girl was in better days

Iwent to "The Gathering"last night,a group of believers in Porterville who assist the communities here in California. They all know, all 46 people so far, know that my hobby is chickens and that I have the BYC as a refference. Anyway, we all prayed for your hen as part of my intercessions, WE HAVE YOUR BACK! and I pray, all will be HIS will in your hens recovery or passing.
Done in love friend, Have faith. God bless!

Hiya. Just wondering how your hen is doing?

Hiya. Just wondering how your hen is doing?

Happily, she is still here! I thought we were really improving on Monday, she was talking and walking and pecking and ate a good bit. But then today I can't even coax her out of the roost to put ointment on her eye. So hopefully this is just a bump in the road

That sounds good. So long as she's eating and drinking. I'm cautiously optimistic. Has her eye had any improvement?

I just went and checked to see if she would finally come down, and her eye is open finally. It is still incredibly red and puffy, but before it was swollen shut. I was not able to get her down, even with some tuna. I don't think she has ate or drank today. I wonder why she doesn't want to move?
