HELP.. chicken is skin and bones

[Silkies rule Forever]

It might be worms, does she have soft shelled eggs? If so it might be she needs more calcium. Does she have diarrhea? Could be mites. Is she losing feathers and is she losing her color???

What breed??

There is a game bird food from tractor supply and is a 20 or 30 percent protein.

I hope everyones birds are doing better. I got some 20% protein feed for my bird, mixed it with water and she ate a little but it is better than nothing. I can't tell if she doing better but when I went to clean the coop, there was only diarrhea in the area she was roosting. No worms seen so maybe it could be due to the molt. She ate some live mealworms too this morning so I guess we will have to see how she does.

Just checked on her and she is dust bathing so hopefully a good sign

I too have a barred rock with the same thing happening right now. It seems everything I've tried just makes her worse. I don't think she will make it through the day.

Sorry to hear that. Hope she makes it.

Good sign. You're doing a great job.
