HELP! My hen won’t eat and just sleep, looks very weak and won’t open her eyes

Her crop is empty in the morning and bigger after I feed her. I think her crop is ok and she keeps have runny pop I think it’s because of liquid food and yogurt.

I would go with the advice from @Wyorp Rock. The tilted neck could be wet neck or an injury. How is her crop?

She is still hanging there although I think she is doing a little bit better than yesterday because she opens her eyes more often when I feed her. I bought some baby food, I think it might be a good source of food to feed her by using a syringe. Anyway I’ll keep her hydrated and hope she will survive another night.

I attached a photo of her poop.

The poop is from her not eating. You're doing what you can for her. Getting her hydrated is always first on the list, then trying to see if she will eat. You can also use chick starter, mix some of your baby food into that, add a little water to make it the consistency of oatmeal. She may like that.

Thank you for the update, I hope she gets better soon.

She “kuh-Kuh” a bit tonight when I picked her up. I fed her lots baby food and water, she is still hanging there. Still tilted neck. I’ll keep giving her vitamins everyday. Hope she can get better tomorrow!

HELP! Today when I checked on her, I found a tiny parasite under her feather, very tiny, smaller than a seasame, transparent, but it’s moving and I’m sure it’s a parasite. Couldn’t take a photo by phone because it’s too tiny. Some one help me please, I can’t find the same parasite online.

Sounds like mites? Which could be causing her not feeling well.. Although it usually just makes them uncomfortable and pull feathers. Get some food grade diatomaceous earth and lightly dust her and her bedding..
