Loss of appetite and Lethargy

I'm glad to hear that she is still alive and doing somewhat better, but hope that she will get her neck straightened out soon. Then she will probably start eating on her own. Many have said that it takes weeks sometimes to cure wry neck.

Yea, the sooner the better... I am going on vacation at the end of the month for a week... And I don't have anyone that is comfortable feeding her. I hope she straightens out by then

To cap what has been going on the last week: I've been putting the hen outside to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Her neck had been getting better. My other chickens found her twice and harassed her. Her upward facing eyebrow was pecked to a bloody pulp and sealed her eye shut. I brought her back in and tried a warm compress to get the blood softened.

This afternoon, the poor girl gave up the fight and died sometime during the day while I was at work. :'( She was given a cremation ceremony early this evening.

I'm sorry for your loss. You have treated her for a long long time now, and now she isn't suffering any more. Take care.
