thank you for the advice on the youtube posting, i didn’t even think about that! will upload the video tomorrow! and or course thanks for your input on giving her poultry call vitamins, we have probiotics to mix in the water but we can try that as well. again thanks so much for responding, will follow up with a video of how she is moving (trying) around it’s so sad to watch but will post on youtube and post the link asap! will also try the B-Complex pill. would we crush it up in water and give to give to her in a feeding syringe like the meds she is on? or what is your advice on how to administer the pill?

We have the liquid B-Complex, but for pills, I just open their beak and pop it in. Especially if you're using 1/4 of one of yours, as that's pretty small.

@Nabiki any clue what's going on with the hen?

 

[Nabiki]

How old she?
What are you feeding her?
How much space does she have?
How many hiding places does she have?
How tall is her pen?
Is she eating and drinking normally?
Does her poop look normal?
Can you post a close up picture of her foot, leg, and joints?
