Thanks everyone! So helpful!! Now to find a at home remedy for electrolytes or something that'll help her out til tomorrow when I can get some from the feed store.

Anyone know if this is ok for chickens? It's for my mom's goats.

They are hens and silver Leghorns although the bird in the 1st pic has white legs which aren't right for the breed-- they should be yellow. No biggie though if you're just keeping them for eggs.

As for the picked on bird, do your chickens have enough space? Overcrowding is the major cause of birds picking on each other excessively. The best thing you can do is have 2 separate feeders and water dispensers so she has a better chance of getting enough food and water. And maybe somewhere she can roost a bit away from the others so she's not picked on at bed time.

I have no clue about the vitamins, but those are both hens. I hope this helps!

Thanks! They have plenty of room here but not sure if they did at their last home as we just bought them Friday night from someone else. For now she is separated in with the youngins and not being picked on.

I googled Revitilyte, and yes, it can be used for poultry. This is lifted directly off of the Valleyvet.com website: "Poultry: Mix 3.5 oz. (one packet or scoop) into 32 gallons of drinking water. Provide for 3 to 5 days. Mix fresh solution every day, discarding the remaining solution from the previous day."

And here's the link with full information: https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=e624d768-0e3c-4827-bf3e-92d5eaba789f

Obviously you're not going to want 32 gallons of the stuff so you will need to do some math.

Ah, she may not have had enough room at her former owner's. It's a good idea to get her healthy again and keep her stress free by separating her, but it's best to keep her near the flock to avoid problems when reintroducing her. Like in a cage or separate part of the coop where she can see her sisters but they can't hurt her. Good luck!

Thank you JedJackson!! She's in here for now. The others stay in the big coop behind but roam the property during the day. She's happy not having to be stressed out now.
