I would love some advice! Please help - Listless hen, not eating, drinking, or pooping.

I'd look up the symptoms for coccidiosis and see if they fit. the treatment is Corid in the water. Check poo; early on it is abnormal later it turns bloody. They don't like to eat because their intestines are affected. Good Luck!

oh no!!! my hen is also doing this but just today!! She is an EE about the same age and I don't think she has layed anything! I already felt her abdomen and its not fat and full its shrunken and tight, didn't feel an egg. Can they all have coccidiosis!?! As a chick she seemed to have a problem early on with something like worms but it went away after a garlic treatment. *could this be stressing her out because mine has feathers missing and they are all over the yard! I don't know if she pulled them or the other chickens because she hasn't been her usual flighty hopping self!

went to tractor supply and i gave khloe 1 cc's of tylan 50 (made for swine and cattle but i swear by this ) ..first dose was injectable then followed up once daily for 2 more days "oral" (yes it can be digestible )
i also gave her electrolytes by tube every hr on the hr ...she came back to me and here's a picture of my khloe today xoxoxo

if u click on my profile you'll see the progress as i updated every step i did
