I got a chicken that I been treating for an infection for the past 5 weeks and took her in because her crop wasn’t emptying it is now he said it felt inflamed got her a recheck October 1 and she lost another pound he says she has a fever and now we’re treating her with another round of antibiotics and anti fungal medicine as well as dewormer but the problem is now that I noticed she isn’t eating and yet she’s acting pretty normal I let her out to forage after I force fed her and I see her eating everything on the ground she is drinking normally so for the past week I’ve been forced feeding her 2-3 times a day I’m just wondering if anyone had the same problem as me and what to do to get her to eat her food so she doesn’t waist away all and all she’s been such a trooper with the hole thing oh and she is still molting I think she might be close to done just has tail feathers left to grow out

What foods are you trying to feed? Wet feed? Eggs? ??

Just her normal layer feed but in wet mash form

Try live mealworms. I've been dealing with a weak chick that I was hand feeding and he didn't want to eat on his own pretty quickly. Introducing more chicks seemed to trigger the eating response. Nothing like competition for a morsel to get a chicken eating!
