New hen standing in crate with eyes closed...help...

Sorry, should have been more clear... you can add a little sugar or corn syrup the water you're going to force feed. That will help if she's hypoglycemic, but she should have fresh water that she can't drown in available at all times.

She possibly has peritonitis. Because of the yellow and watery poo.

You're right, it sure could be. I think a vet needs to see it. This one does birds and I think they're in the same county as the OP:

Yey she ate this morning more than 1/2 the dish/bowl of layer pellets & when I went to fill it she started eating again didn't see her drink but must assume she did if she ate that much.

Looked up peritonitis definitely do NOT think that's what this is.

Ill check her poo at lunch time & when I get home from work today...but since I ordered the corid already should I still treat her for cocci? Will it harm her if she doesn't have cocci & I still give her the corid?

She was fine when she shipped out & no prior disease at seller home

The corid will not hurt her if she does not havr coccidiosis. Eating is a good sign.

Good to hear she is eating. And good news it is not peritonitis !

Poo...loose & green

Thinking back now she ate a lot of grass the first day or two...could she just have had a tummy ache?
