Okay, my hen has been sick for one day now. She doesn't have any other symptoms except not being able to move. I've been syringe giving her vitamins and ectrolytes. Her poop doesn't have any worms, she's not wheezing. I'm really confused what's wrong with her 😞

Have you checked for any mites or lice?
Do her legs seem paralyzed or can she still move them?
No mites. I checked her legs, when I drop them? She can hold them back. When I lift her up she is also able to keep moving her legs, but she can't stand on them. 🥺 Is this a vitamin B problem? I'm giving her general ones atm
 
Is she getting enough to eat with her beak deformity?

What are you feeding?
I'd get fluids into her and offer some wet feed.
Look her over for lice/mites.

She's had some issues in the past and this may just be her time.
I'm not giving her normal feed at the moment, just vitamins, electrolytes and an antibiotic. She can eat though, like she can swallow herself and stuff, I'll have her back on her normal feed. I checked for mice, she doesn't have any.
 
How old is she? Is she getting some sort of food? I would offer mushy chicken feed with a lot of water stirred in. Cooked egg or tuna. Is she molting or is the feather damage from a rooster? Make sure that she can reach those or feed her 2-3 times a day. B complex vitamins (human ones, 1/4 tablet daily) are very good.

She's 3 years old. I've been feeding her boiled eggs. I think she's molting, the rooster is pretty friendly. What type of tuna do I feed her though? The regular canned one? Is the oil in it okay for her?

Okay I bought a vitamine B complex for humans, I'll attach the picture. Is this one safe for her?

I'd only give her 1/4 tablet of the B vitamins.
For tuna, yes, you can give her canned. If it has oil, then you may want to drain it and give it a little rinse.
Do what you can for her. I know it's distressing that's she's not well.
I hope she starts to improve.
