I had a hen like this A few months ago. Her whole body and head drooped to the ground and we thought she was going to die. We ran to the store and bought Vitamin E. after opening her beak and squeezing one tablet of vitamin E in her, she perked up after a while, and she became active and totally normal again. she’s alive today and as health and happy as ever. If she survives tonight, you should probably isolate her tomorrow to monitor her behavior and just in case the other flock members peck and bully her.
I think I may have some vitamin E on hard, I’ll check. We only have 4 very non-aggressive girls so I do t think bullying will be a problem.
I may have some vitamin E on hand, I’ll check. We only have 4 very non-aggressive girls and another one is sort of lethargic and molting(Scarlett), so I do t think bullying will be a problem. She been this way for a number of day and still held on. I will check back on her tomorrow. I’ll also try what you suggested on the other thread.
I think gel tablets? They were like capsules, with thick liquid inside and you would open the beak of the hen and squeeze the liquid inside of her mouth, they looked like this. I’m not too familiar with what the box or the label is like as I wasn’t the one who bought it.
Hows your hens today?
I force fed hattie some eggs with garlic and oregano in them and gave her a vitamin E capsule. Today she can’t stand and only stumbles backwards.
