HELP!!!! My hen Is ill.

[Chicken-rookie]

I have a pullet that seems to have the same symptoms. I am new to chickens and I have no idea what to do for her. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. She has been this way for about a week.

Deleted- I had posted a reply and realized my reply was for another chicken on a different thread. So I deleted it.

How is your girl doing?

She is a little better, but still not 100%. I ordered some antibiotics, electrolytes, and wormer but I don't have it yet. I'm not sure which I should give her. I guess I'll start with electrolytes and see how she responds.

my hen is better. still under weight so i took her into the house and she watched war horse with me for an hour or so

Chicken-rookie - it is always good to have all that stuff on hand. How old is your chicken and have you wormed her before? What are her symptoms again?

Nickeyo- glad to hear she is better. What is she eating? You should give her some nuti- drench it will help her to get the nutrition she needs

she is only about 4 but that is quite old for a battery hen and this was the first time i wormed her. she was very hunched up and dull and didnt eat but she is now more active and eating more
