My hen Lanna a 2-year-old crested cream legbar has been drowsy for the past day.
Last night I checked on her and she was drowsy, I massaged her crop for a bit and today she seemed slightly better but not much. Tonight I gave her some apple cider vinegar.
She has been picking at her layer but not drinking much.
 
Not much information to go on. Drowsy behavior can mean shock, starvation, hypothermia among other things. Treat with some warm sugar water and see if it revives her. One teaspoon sugar to one cup water with a pinch of salt and baking soda.

Syringe it into her crop like this.

I will give her some as soon as I get home.

Thank you
