Here is a picture just in case you need one.

I treated her just now.

Awww, I'm hoping she pulls through! I have no experience with this so I'll leave that to azygous, she's much better with this sort of thing.
I'll keep watching to learn though.
Fingers crossed!

Thank you! Yes, all my SSs are real sweet. There is a picture of her sister Hiro standing on the coop roof on my coop article. Heh, they are really mischievous when they have a mind to be!
Fingers crossed!

I hope she makes it! Azygous will have much better advice than I can give!

Here is an update for you two, as well as the info for @azygous
Grant has been alot more perky and she is eating better. Her poop is still green, but I have been very set on giving her the medicine when she is supposed to have it. I am using a mask for a crop bra just because she seems to be doing better with it on as well, and it doesn't hurt. I have been feeding her a little kefir, cantaloupe, and the choice of layer pellet and water whenever she wants but she is eating those as well.

Another update @azygous
Grant is shaking and it think it is because she is starving. I can feel all of her bones and she is sleepy a lot of the time. I am still doing treatment, but how can I get her nutrients before she dies of starvation?

Are you ready to try tube feeding? It's not as scary as it sounds. You can call your vet and ask for a tube feeding kit or get some tubing where they sell aquarium supplies. I got my tube feeding kit, catheter and syringe for $3 from my vet.

Measure the tube from the bottom of the crop to the beak and cut the bottom part off with a couple inches to spare. My tube is nine inches long. Your syringe should fit in the funnel top of the tube.

A starving chicken is usually too weak to struggle and fight, but you can wrap her in a towel to secure her wings. Open the beak and insert the tube down the right side of her throat and into the esophagus. If you have it wrong, she will cough. She will not cough or choke if you're doing it right. It's easiest if you extend her neck. There are many videos showing how to do it.

Be sure the food is warm and very liquid or it won't easily push through the syringe. You can buy baby bird formula at the pet store or make your own with raw egg, yogurt, or strained baby food. Don't overfill the crop, limiting the feeding to four ounces at a time.

For clarity, that would be the bird's right side?

Thank you. She is eating some one her own, but her body doesn’t seems to be getting the nutrients it needs, is there any specific foods I can give her that will help her regain her weight?
