Thanks folks, I did feel guilty about not being able to cart her off to the vet... I wish I could at this point. But it is what it is-I have a lot of resources available, just not a vet that will look at her and give a diagnosis. I use the livestock vets and I've worked for the small animal vets here-I know they don't want to see a chicken. I'm pushing it if I can get one of them to look at a goat or lamb.

She certainly was wide open for parasites or environmental problems.

I just gave her some of the safe-guard, as weak and sickly as she looks she can keep her beak away from me pretty effectively and I was afraid I'd kill her with that qtip. So I just gave her some of the wormer.

What wasn't in the video is when she's walking around clucking at me and hopping out of her box-she isn't always as droopy; I thought it might help for people to really see her. She ate for a long time as I was doing all this and now she's sleeping standing up. It's weird how it comes and goes...

See if the wormer helps, if its working she should start pooing the worms out eventually or atleast start looking better.
If that doesn't help then we will check that off this list and try to narrow down what the issue is.
Good Luck!

Thank you! I hope this does the trick!
