crush one in a Quart of water.

Okay so. Guess I will do 4 for the gallon. It's fine to add this to the water I just mixed with the electrolights?

yes

She doesn't want to drink so I put a small amount in a syringe and try to give t to her.

Is she inside ?
if so with ac or other comforts she may not need to drink anything just yet.
The very hardest part of this is going to be to let her rest!

I know sick children or animals and I am all over it nursing to get better.

They can recover from horrible injuries. Try crushing the vitamin in a little scrambled egg and just leave it with her. She may be in shock so cool and dark and let her rest.
No soap and water unless you have something without perfumes and additives. That stuff could sting! If it doesn't look too dirty just spray with vetericyn, blue kote etc. If you don't have any of that any good triple anitbiotic (aka neosporin) but NOT the one with pain reliever (wrong stuff in it for birds). If you have none of the above, just let her rest. Again, it sounds like she's in shock.
you can always make a fast run to the store in the morning.
keep us posted.

Oh, and you really should try to get hold of some nutridrench. That and Vetrx are always in my first aid kit!!!

be careful trying to force liquids with a syringe do very small drops . watch for infection .also be careful not to get Neosporin in the eye. good luck hope she heals.

shes out in the shed with ventilation and the ceiling fan going donuts not hit in there. It's comfortable. She did end up taking just a few tiny sips while I was out there checking on her.

I never ended up using the syringe. She ended up taking a couple small sips. I only put the neosporin on top of her head. Not near her eyes. The only open skin is only on top of her head. Her one eye has been closed all day. Not sure if the eye is even still in there.

I'm sorry about your chicken- one of mine had the same thing only not as bad. I put her in the house , cleaned it , and watched it for signs of infection. She healed faster than I thought and is perfectly fine today.
