If she's very weak and unable to eat or drink, you may need to tube feed. Are you able to do that?

I have been syringing water into her mouth and made her a mash of food that i am also giving her by syringe and spoon...how would i tube feed?If she's very weak and unable to eat or drink, you may need to tube feed. Are you able to do that?
Thank you. Im not sure i will be able to do this for her, only because i have to order all supplies but i will add it to my chicken first aid box asap. She did eat when i was feeding her and seems thirsty so ive given lots of water today. Head turning is less but still happening. Anything else i can do to help this?A length of aquarium air tubing or oxygen tubing can fit to a regular 35 ml syringe from the feed store. Better is a catheter tip syringe connected to a red rubber Cather or feeding tube found online. There are many tube feeding videos and links to learn how to feed. Here is one with pictures:

KayTee baby bird feed is good to use. Here is a feeding tube set from Amazon:

How much selenium is in the product you are giving?The head movements are much better, giving her selenium and poultry cell but running out right now for vit b.
She ate on her own today. She is much more alert and standing better.
BUT i woke up to the black poo. Everything im read says internal bleeding?
