Sick Chicken

[netguru]

One of my RIRs is not doing good. started not eating a while back, has not started laying eggs yet this year as all others have, and about 2 weeks ago picked her up and the breast meat was very non-existent. Breast bone was protruding. Put her in a hospital container, and she would not eat standard feed. Gave some yogurt and cooked egg to try to build up strength. She will eat that or bugs/worms we collect. She still has no interest in normal feed. Any ideas what might be going on? She is about 1.5-2 years old.

Is she still ok? There are many things that it could be. Is she pooping? What does it look like? Can she stand or is she laying down? You can try some antibiotics. There are a lot of different kinds, but a feed store should carry a general one which is what you want since you don'y know what it is. Good Luck and I'm sorry it has taken this long to get an answer.
