Does she have any other pecking injuries on her head? Any chance she could have something neurological going on?

She seems to have a couple small scars on her comb.

She might have something neurological going on. I can't be certain, but if it is, what could it be?

Or could she be in shock from being attacked by the others? There was mention of her having been pecked on all day…maybe try treating her with an electrolyte solution with a bit of sugar mixed in.

She is not being "pecked all day" as far as I'm concerned. I think the majority of that happens at roost time and at wake time.

Hmm I’m not sure…I thought maybe she got bopped on the head hard by another but seems unlikely?

Do you think she is just weak from maybe not being able to see food/water for part of the day? How full is her crop?

That could be true! her crop is not full so I just force fed her gently.

Could this be cocodiosis? She was in a box with this towel, and I believe this is her poop:

It doesn’t strike me immediately but you should definitely let the experts weigh in on that one. I’ve never had to treat for coccidiosis. When was her last egg?
