I had a smilar problem. Check out this thread :
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=10
Here is the food mixture we used:
Sick Chicken High Vitamin Food
½ cooked egg yolk
crumbled into mixture
2 soft gels of cod liver oil punctured and squeezed into mix
1 very small drizzle of honey
1 heaping tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 dab beef pate' cat food
Not dog food
1/2 capsule of a good multi-vitamin
1/4 crushed B12
1/2 dry E capsule - every other day as this stays in the system longer
1 tablespoons of grated apple
1 thin slice banana
2 crushed blueberries
1 teaspoon hemp seed
1/2 teaspoon crushed raw sunflower seed
1/2 teaspoon ground flax seed
1/8 teaspoon chia seed
Mix to make a crumble mixture not runny, if you have to roll into pellets and force feed, and then gently massage the neck in a downward motion to get it down into the crop, then do it, the bird may be too weak to eat or have lost the desire to eat
We mixed a fresh batch each morning. She also received lots of "Save a Chick" vitamin enriched water. We got the vitamin mix in small packs from
TSC. Simple and effective.
