New Point of Lay Hen - Pale/Wattle turned pale .....

It's o.k. to give the vitamins while giving antibiotics, just not when giving the Amprolium (Coxoid).

What is the "medication" in your chick starter? You are not in the US right(?) so does the medicated feed have Amprol/Amprolium or another ingredient?

I'm in the UK. Yes it does have Amprolium in the chick crumb (it's a preventative and I believe she was initially raised on this by the breeder).

Tonight, she has eaten about 10 little pecks of scrambled egg with cream and a little bit of mashed potato (in between falling asleep).

I checked her crop and it was pretty much empty. I tried to take a pic to show how her breast bone is protruding - but it's hard to see.

Tomorrow is the last day to give her the Nutri drops (says a max of 5 days).

Thanks.

Poor thing.

She's really wasting isn't she. I'm not sure what else you can do, but encourage her to eat and drink.
She may have disease like Marek's or even an organ dysfunction - hard to know unless you lose her and have a necropsy performed.

After reading all your descriptions and seeing her pictures and considering all the treatment she has already been administered to no avail one thing comes to mind: avian leukosis.

" Chickens with lymphoid leukosis have few typical clinical signs. These may include inappetence, weakness, diarrhea, dehydration, and emaciation. Infected chickens become depressed before death. "

Thank you @LaFleche and @Wyorp Rock for your advice/help and information.

Sadly Ginger passed away last night. I am absolutely heartbroken that I couldn't save her/nurse her back to health.

Thanks again for your patience and help. x

Sometimes there is just nothing one can do to save them.
