New ex-battery not drinking or eating

[glassdragonfly]

Poor girls! I'm so glad you are giving them a healthy and safe home. Hope your girls recover

They've definitely earned some spoiling! Keep at your sick hen! If you have a brooder lamp or other type of heat for her, that would probably be better than a blanket. She's probably not generating any heat of her own, so using artificial heat will take that strain off of her system.
Even if she loses the battle, you've given her a soft place to fall in her last days. That, in and of itself, is a blessing that most of her companions never received. You've done a good thing. Thank you.

Thanks MROO, we did use a heater too. Sadly she passed away yesterday. I think on reflection that we should have kept them both inside to start with given the cold. I made the decision not too though so they could integrate, which I now regret. Nevertheless our other ex-bat hen is living inside with us for now and is eating and drinking with encouragement although she has a cold.

I'm not surprised considering these poor hens were practically just in hell
It's nice to see people trying to save them.
I may be giving it a try myself.
Good Luck!
