Hen won't eat and is acting sluggish

I do not know where you live, but in Europe you could order online or get it from your vet.

In the U.S. you could get some Safeguard liquid goat de-wormer from the local TSC shops.

Thank you so much! You people really are the best of the best, willing to help out stangers and their poultry problems. Camille (the silkie) and I thank you for it! I will keep you all posted on her condition over the next week or so if you want.

I hope she will recover soon.

Ok, so today she's much worse. She's not moving her legs at all, and I'm afraid she has Marek's. Almost all my other birds are vaccinated for it, but since she came from someone else, I'm almost positive she hasn't had any.

She ate the yogurt, and some scrambled egg with garlic. I've just been keeping her as comfortable as possible and giving electrolytes in her water.

Did you de-worm her in the meantime? A worm overload can just lead to the same symptoms as shown in case of Marek's.

After deworming you could supply her with NutriDrench or any other poultry vitamins including vit. B complex.

Sorry it's been so long, I comepletely forgot about this post.
I did, but unfortunately she just got worse and worse to where it was too hard to watch, so we had to euthanize her. I think it was for the best, but it was still hard.
