My hen cannot hold her head up and is having problems breathing Help!!!

How old? How long has this been going on? What are the other symptoms? What breed?

When was the last time she ate or pooped? What is the feed, including treats and supplements? Is she trying to eat or drinking anything? Can she stand up?

Is her crop currently full, hard, squishy, soft? Any smell coming from the mouth? Is breathing just labored or is there any crackling sound? Any nasal discharge or sneezing?

Okay... your top suspects here are either a blocked crop. depending on some of your answers... Eating, drinking, pooing?

A vitamin deficit... some birds have a higher need than average.

Egg binding... has she laid one yet and when was the last?

Or Marek's disease virus.
