My silkie hen has been getting thinner and thinner and you can feel her bones. Her crop is empty but she’s acting pretty lively besides mostly staying inside. She’s eating. She just got done being broody do could that be it? She’s my favorite chicken and I’m really scared for her

She’s eating layer feed and she’s penned with a black Australorp and a blue Wyandotte. I worm them all once a month as well as treat for mites so I don’t know what could possibly be wrong but I’m really worried about her.

Her poop is the wrong color. If the vet is a option I'd take her there if they treat chickens. Put food in water and syringe feed her. I'll give you the recipe for electrolytes. I'd also give her Apple spider viniger water.

Homemade Electrolytes For Chickens and Chicks
1 cup of warm water
2 teaspoons of granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of backing soda
 
I'd also put her in by her self just I case ther is some thing continuations. Make sure to wash your hands after handling her. Hope she gets better. :fl :hugs
