Fourth day not eating or drinking, can't stand up

Are you up for trying out tube feeding? Getting some calories and nutrients into her might help.

I'm not sure if that would be good or not. Her crop is small but feels weird like I can feel rocks in it

Oh that's too bad. I want my favorites to last forever too.. I'd also go with a little force feeding of fluids with electrolytes, any food she might nibble on. It's amazing sometimes what some tlc will do. I don't know if this is the case with your girl but when I got down to one chicken , she must have been 8 at the time, she really seemed heartbroken over the loss of her sister. Would just stand and stare into space. Quiet., not eating. .I moved her in the house for a bit and she got happy, vocal.. Then I bought some pullets which annoyed her but kept her busy. She got killed by a red tailed hawk at 10 or 11. I was heart broken. I'd nursed her through every illness imaginable and she always survived. Good luck with your baby.

Dang that's sad. Sorry for your loss
