Old Droopy weak chicken..... What's wrong??

[krebolo125]

Okay so I have a 6 year old Polish hen. She is our favorite and the sweetest bird. She had a few hours of live infestations over the last couple of months but I cleared her of them. She is progressively getting weaker and thinner and has super Droopy wings and just stands there hanging her head. I have dewormed her with Fenbendazole and still no improvement. Now the other hens are fighting with her. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I should also say she is eating. I want to add a pic but I don't see where to add it.

There are many possibilities. Is she still laying? Even occassionally?
What do her droppings look like? Is her crop emptying completely?
Could be an internal laying issue, infection, organ failure, blockage somewhere, a cancer, or just failing due to age.
Hard to say without more to go on.
I would definitely separate her, as the other birds will likely continue to attack her if she is weak and sick.
Give vitamins, probiotics and electrolites.
And try to look for any other symptoms like those above, or anything else out of the ordinary.
Check her over thoroughly for any injury or wounds.
If you want to post a picture, in the reply box on the second line, there is a box that looks like a mountain with a moon or sun over it.
Click on that and it will let you insert an image. Sounds like she is exhibiting typical 'sick bird' posture.
Wish you luck, and hopefully you can get it more narrowed down.
