The hen seemed much more lively in the morning - she was quite vocal, actively seeking the feed when I was about to change it, she ate some and by chance, I found a worm that was hidden in the straw she is on (very similar to mealworm) and she immediately pecked on it and ate it. This was surprising and made me decide to go out on Monday to a local pet store to buy some worms for her - she was apparently very interested in this one and maybe it could provide some needed energy and strength.
She didn't touch the carrot puré unfortunately, but hopefully drank some of that herb infusion I made, though I haven't seen her directly. I put it there this morning instead of water.
I also contacted a local veterinary clinic that is doing checkups of farm animals, so that might be something worth trying as well (if they treat chickens, which I don't know yet). Maybe they could figure out what's wrong and come up with some suitable cure or solution.
She is sleeping most of the time and sometimes pecking. When she wakes up, she makes this rather quiet sad sounding call...
So that's all the updates so far.
