Paralyzed Hen

[CKfarm22]

I have a 5 month old hen that has recently been paralyzed from a neurological disease. For the past two days she’s been in the nesting box because my other hens won’t lay in there. But she seems uncomfortable. She has a heating pad to keep her warm and food and water. I want to make her an comfortable as can be because it’s very likely she will not make it. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what i can do for her to make me more comfortable

If she's paralyzed, have you been tube feeding her a couple of times a day? How is she eating?

If you feel she's in pain and suffering, then putting her out of her misery may be the best thing to do.

She eats and drinks just fine believe it or not. It’s her legs that are paralyzed. I’ve been mixing her food with some water to make it into a mush so if she’s not interested in the water at least she’s getting some sort of hydration
