Hen has gone quiet all of a sudden.

I mean comes down because she's upside down.

It seems the only way to tell is if tommorrow when she comes out from the coop, her crop is still full... so tommorow I'll have to investigate.

She's still very lethargic and listless, starting to get very worried...

Will she take a little yogurt? Might help, can't hurt. Or a little water with honey? Honey has antibacterial properties. We're crossing our fingers for you here. Good luck.

I gave her some yoghurt earlier just after i had bathed and dried her, she took some but not alot. She's now gone into the nest :/

You've done what you can. Hope for the best. She looks a nice big girl overall. Might well pull through. Lots do.

Thanks heart, your help is greatly appreciated!

How's it going?

I checked her Crop yesterday morning and it was empty, not full at least.

she took a good 30 seconds to come out the coop and was still slightly listless, in comparison to the other two, but today she seems to be recovering - She whizzed out the coop this morning and is happily foraging with the other two hens. so I'm hoping she's feeling a lot better - We'll see over the next few days if she's made a full recovery..

ALSO, I think she may have just laid us her first egg! I wont confirm that though, lol

Sounds like good progress!

She's not been good at all today, she's been very lethargic and listless and the last half of the day she's been nested in the Coop. I'm going to have a look at her tommorrow and re-powder lice her, as it's been a week almost.
