I agree with Kathy. In my opinion, this chicken needs water, lots of water. Then she needs food. Medicine at this point is not going to do her any good at all if all of her organs are failing because she is dehydrated.

What people need to learn is that almost all sick birds will be dehydrated. Only exception being one that is drinking excessive amounts of water, which I don't think this hen is. Warmed fluids must be given to keep organs functioning. Once hydration is corrected, food can be given. Easiest and safest way is to tube them, which I can teach anyone how to do.

Tubing is not a cure, but it will keep the bird from dying of dehydration and starvation.

has she been wormed yet?

 

[chickengirl28]

No

I think the first step is to get her de wormed. If you go on amazon you can find some there.
also has she been eating and drinking? has she had any access to moldy food?

 

[minichicks05]

I also recommend rooster booster and some vitamin b12 you can also get that on amazon.

 

[chickengirl28]

I think their is no time for that
It will be to late

Try some Poly Visol without iron. You can buy it at Walmart even.
