Lethargic brahma. White poop.

Poor thing is very lethargic. She will get very dehydrated starve herself. Hard to tell if this is some type of reproductive issue or intestinal infection. Do you have access to any sulfa antibiotics? Something like bactrim could treat both coccidiosis or enteritis. Amoxicillin might help if it is a reproductive infection. I would offer her some cooked egg and some watery chicken feed. Add more water if it thickens. The flimabend looks to be flubendazole liquid. I’m not sure of the dosage, but how much did you give?

I have been syringeing her water with vitamin b complex. I will try giving the bread with molasses and olive oil.

her crop is completely empty. I have been giving her the vitamin b complex water through the day.

Yes, looks like her crop is emptying.
Looks like it's emptying, or you have physically felt the crop and know it's emptying?

I would ensure she's staying hydrated. Syringe or tube fluids into her, electrolytes would be good.
Offer wet soupy feed to help with dehydration as well.

I would not give liquid oil, if oil is aspirated that's very bad news. Bread and flour are binding and molasses acts as a laxative. You want her hydrated.

You can give a bit of chilled coconut oil if her crop is not emptying. But likely you need ABX as suggested. If you have vet care, that's best.

It is emptying. sorry i am not so good in english, so i might have worded it wrongly.
We give her water through syringe and made a liquidy mush from her chicken feed and gave that to her through syringe too.

We are taking her to see a vet tomorrow.
 
Do you have meal worms? Black soldier fly grubs? What about some canned tuna? Has she eaten raw yolk?
Unfortunately we don’t have access to meal worms, the person we got them from last year isn’t growing them anymore. :(
Yes , I gave her raw yolk in the morning. Which canned tuna would be best? In brine?

O.k. good!

Rinse your canned tuna before giving her a little.
This is a treat in addition to her normal feed.

Keep us posted on what the vet says!
 
So we just called the vet to confirm we are comming in today and they let us know that the doctor that specifies in chickens is sick and most likely be there only next Monday. I really don’t know what to do anymore. :(



I had no idea before getting chickens that it’s so hard to find a vet that can treat chickens in this country.

Do the best you can. Work on keeping her hydrated and see if she will eat a bit of food for you.
