Thank you so much. It's been a week... but we're trying!

You can only do your best. The rest is up to the animal and the good Lord to take care of things. I will be thinking of you both.

Are you still putting oyster shell in her feed? If so, stop, just give it to her on the side. Too much calcium can cause problems too.

do you have a food scale to weigh her on? Since she's not feeling well you should be getting an accurate weight on her once day. If you don't have scale, can you buy one?

No. I am not putting oyster shell in her feed. I was thinking about weight. That is one thing that I have not done. I do not have a food scale but I can get one. And it was foolish of me not to do that from the beginning.

Would something like this suffice?

 

[JulieBeth07]

Or this?

I think either will work!

Excellent! Having a scale like this will make it very obvious if she's not eating enough.

To be honest I don't think she is... she's usually a free ranger gobbling up everything. She's 2nd in the flock, only to the first and "eldest". Something is up... I just don't know what it may be...
