Hen got in the middle of fight (can't move)

[Chicken_loverXx]

Today my duck laid her first egg. One of my drakes got in a bad fight with my rooster but they are okay it's my small hen that seems to have been badly hurt she can't move at all. Her eyes are closed she opens them a bit she can't move her legs the only things he seems to be able to control is her head she also isn't eating or drinking i give her some water through a serenge

her name is grizzy she is a mix between a houdan and buckeye btw grizzly really isn't looking good

She seems to be trying to move which I guess is a good sign

Is she drinking? Have you examined her all over to make sure she has no wounds or injuries hiding under feathers? I would keep her in a warm, quiet place and try to get some fluids in her. If you have electrolites, give her some of that. She may just be in shock, and time may be all she needs. If she needs support to stay upright then you can use rolled up bath towels around her, or use a chicken sling (examples below). If you use a sling, you need to supervise, sometimes they freak out and may hurt themselves trying to get out of it. Give her some time, make sure she's eating and drinking, droppings are normal.

thank you she isn't eatinf or drinking on her own so I've been feeding her corn by hand if I set the corn in her mouth she'll eat it no problem the same with the water i dip her beak in the water and she'll drink it thank you for the sling idea I'm going to try and make one for her

Ease up on the corn. Instead try mixing her regular pellets or crumbles with some water to make a mash. A bit of cooked chopped, or scrambled egg would be better to get her to eat than the corn.

Thank you for your help, but sadly she passed away last night

So sorry for your loss, but you might want to keep an eye on the others. Unless you know for sure she was involved in the fight in some way, it sounds like she may have had another issue involving illness. Chickens don't normally succumb that easily just because they are involved in a fight.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
