My sick hen from last week better but I have another sick one now. All were given valbazen and will be repeated this weekend. Corid ended Monday.
This one is wanting to just stand or lie down, head pulled instead of neck extended. She gets on roost at night in kennel, she’s drinking water with rooster booster, she had some eggs with nutrition yeast this morning. She will walk around and peck the ground a little (she’s alone in the tractor now) but mostly sedentary.
Not laying yet (a maran approx 16-18 ish weeks-I got her about a month ago.
Don’t feel anything weird with her crop-I actually don’t feel or see much at all there
Nothing I can see on her skin looks suspicious
Poops are Normal consistency but green-tinged
Comb very pale
Was told by my son that she seems to have some leg weakness he observed when she was walking last evening
I was giving her layer feed since the place I got her had already started that but I reverted to 20% flock feed two days ago
I have a bottle of b complex plus c in my grocery order this morning. Should I try that? Is the c ok? That’s all they had. If so, how much and how often?
What else could I do for her?? Please help if you can! Thank you!!!!

she also had a bit of coconut oil (someone recommended that for any potential blockage)-I think she’d eat an entire jar if I let her. She only pecked at her eggs this morning -they were scrambled though not raw yolk. She has consumed some of her water with rooster booster in it. Maybe I should stop that and just use the b complex alone? Someone had mentioned too many days of electrolytes could cause diarrhea and today is day 4. I just put her in the tractor and she pecked around a lot and seemed to pull quite a bit of grass??? Also ate some her crumble moistened with rooster booster water plus all the mealworms I could dig out of the bag of oat flock Party-plus some of the oats. She’s now just lying in the grass.
