Sick chicken help! (Watching my moms chickens)

Have you used vitamin b complex? The curled under toes, requires riboflavin (vitamin B2.) Poultry NutriDrench does not have riboflavin for some reason. However B complex and Poultry Cell tonic both contain riboflavin. I would try to hold a small bowl containing chicken feed and a lot of water up to her beak. You can sprinkle a bit of cooked egg or tuna at times to stimulate her to eat. Do you think she can see the food?

I got her to drink some crushed up vitamin b today. She ate a little yesterday. Nothing today. She’s mostly been sleeping since she drank the vitamin b this morning

If she won’t eat anything, I am not sure that she will last much longer. Have you tried adding water to the feed, some chopped scrambled egg, tuna, or ground meat? I hold it right in front of them and sprinkle feed on top. And I do it at least 3 times a day. If she has Mareks disease, some will eat and drink, but some may suffer from crop or gizzard problems, and starve themselves. Your mother may want to get a necropsy and testing for Mareks if she dies, and those can be done by most state poultry vets. Here is a link on who to call, and how to keep the body refrigerated:
