Hen Currently Dying, How to Help?

Will do.

She has been on her belly all morning, she doesn’t seem to be pooping. I was wondering if I should try to bathe her or if that would just be too much for her right now.

I would give her an espom salt bath. The magnesium should help her.

Sadly, the hen died last week, thank you for the suggestion though.

Thank you all for your help, I’m glad I was able to try some things I wouldn’t have otherwise known to try. Unfortunately, she did not make it, she rallied all day but died shortly after my last visit this evening. I’m hoping she felt warm and loved.

I will miss her. She acted more like a cat than a chicken. Loved to be held and pet more than any of my other girls. She was my smallest and so sweet. RIP Miss Maples
