Help! My Hen is sick!!!

[Wickedchicken6]

First, she couldn't stand, then breathing became very labored, eyes shut. The next morning, couldn't hold her head up. Grayish mucous dripping from her beak, comb bluish. I started the antibiotics twice a day and the honey concoction every couple of hours. She's about 80% better after 6 days. Stopped the antibiotics after day 4, but still giving her the other stuff mixed in water.
She's our only chicken and I don't know if I would've been as aggressive with her ifthere was the threat of her infecting others.

It sounds like you've done a good job with her.

Update. My hen has more energy and eating and drinking. Her comb is still pale but I’m hoping that will get better. I let her back in the coop since she was feeling better. That should be ok right?

Sure..just make sure they don't start beating her up.
Did she lay an egg today?

She did not lay an egg today. I am going to watch her today. When I let her out yesterday she ran to the other coop and sat in the nesting box for a while then came out to play with the other chickens. I’m going to keep giving her calcium and electrolytes.

She is more alert but still acting tired. Still isn’t laying either. I keep giving her water, calcium, electrolytes. She is not letting me syringe feed her but she is kind of eating. Here are some pics. Her color went away again. She also still has watery poop. It is now clear, white and greenish brown.
