I would try to get her eating and drinking. Does she have any favorites? Moistened chicken feed and some chopped egg are good.

I go outside with her everyday and sit with her for about 3 hours to make sure she eats the food I give her. I also use this time to give her the nutridrench vitamins. Moistened chicken food and some water is at least near her 24/7, and yes, she got some chopped egg during that time and she loved it! And I hope the protein will help her regain lost weight and muscle

I had Dixie inside in the photo, she had food & water in the temporary inside pen I got her. She is sleeping in the coop tonight though. She may come back inside, and with her (hopeful) recovery I can enlarge it as she could get to walking more. I am making sure she is comfortable and that she eats.

I think this info could help but she didn't want to stand for the picture, she continued to plop back down but after a bit of gentle help she stood. She will only stand to poop or to move to another area. She stands to poo and sits back down in the same place. That is why I have to clean her.

Can you trim the feathers where her poo is sticking to under the vent. add olive oil or whatever you have to put around her vent, so it doesn't stick to her skin. Making it easier for you to clean her. Have you tried the B vitamin.
I know this is for chicks but it could get her eating

I would add 1/4 to 1/2 tablet daily of crushed vitamin B complex (or super B) in case of riboflavin deficiency.

Thank you, i will pick up some vitamin B for her tomorrow

I cannot, sorry due to reasons explained in the next post

She is in critical condition. By what I can see she will pass on tonight. I have made sure she is as comfortable as possible, she has a pillow and two red flowers next to her. She is outside and her friends have been given food to be near her. I hope she passes comfortably with her coop mates. I have done all I can and you people have too.
Thank you.

Here is one of her coopmates, Matilda, checking out the camera to make you feel better

So I hate to bring up what might be a painful subject as you appeared as attached as I get ;-)....but I've been having so many issues lately and one now that sounds so similar... but it seems I never get an answer to what happened! I'm guessing it's usually because the outcome was not as desired, but never know- I myself am guilty on another forum for not going back to give a happy status update since I was so sick myself at the time!

Just wondering how she did and if you ever found out what the problem was after all....simply beautiful girls, btw!!
