Hen is sick and won't eat!!!

I'm a little nervous to let her out. Both roosters have been doing their dance around her crate. They were being so awful to her before I quarantined her. Before she was even sick she seemed to be their favorite to mate with, poor thing. I'm scared they will just jump her the second she leaves the crate.
Hello, that makes sense to keep her in, as the roos would cause too much stress.

How is she doing tonight?

At this point, I would save a fecal sample and see if the vet can run a few tests on it, including a gram's stain. It may be worth doing an xray and blood work as well.

I hope she recovers for you!

I wouldn't let her out with 2 roosters. If they were abusing her before, then they definitely will now that she is not well.
 
Update:
Our poor little pullet didn't make it. My whole family, even my newborn baby, caught covid. Because of this I wasn't able to syringe feed her as often. I just couldn't get her to eat. She passed away this morning. I feel so bad. I just wish I knew what she had so we can prevent it from happening to any of the others.

I'm so sorry. Sending you best wishes and a full recovery.
