Should I retreat her with the Valbazen? If so where do I get it?

No. Give your hen a liquid slurry of buttermilk mixed with finely chopped boiled egg. Use an eyedropper and put a couple of drops of the mixture on the side of her beak to swallow. You'll have to do this often until she gets her strength up where she can eat and swallow the mixture on her own until recovered.

As always, thanks for the help!

Every time I look on this forum I learn something.
So sorry your hen is still poorly.
When I feed with a dropper if I'm on my own I put them between my legs and either use a towel or pop them into the sleeve of a sweat shirt to keep them still and calm.

Good luck x

Just curious...why do you guys recommend feeding chickens scrambled eggs?
They would not get that naturally, yes?

Because it is a good source of protein and is easily digested, especially good for sick birds. If we were going to eliminate all things that a chicken wouldn't get "naturally" then we'd certainly have to start with chicken feed and the list would go on.

True, they're not going to cook their eggs, but chickens DO eat their eggs often enough that I have to say yes, they WOULD get egg naturally.
