Sick hen what is it?

[getreal]

I have a hen about 3 years old. I can’t remember her breed. She started getting scruffy looking feathers. I checked for parasites, didn’t find anything but powered the flock anyway. Then I noticed around her eyes was getting bright red. And there was a small bit of white right underneath the eye. All I had available was denagard. I thought well it might help until I can get something else. All I could get online was
TYLOSIN. Everything else requires a prescription. I have been using it for 7 days according to directions. No improvement whatsoever and it’s actually gotten worse. I’m at a loss now. Here is how she looks now. Her neck is bare because her roost mate likes to do this to anyone that will let her. Please no negative comments. Im doing my best with what is available here. Thanks

Can you get a better picture of her whole body. She looks to be molting, and that can be a stressful time when they may feel puny and not eat much. They stop laying and can have pale combs and dry skin. Has she laid eggs recently? Do you have any respiratory issues in your flock or in the past? Denagard is for Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG,) a chronic respiratory disease in chickens. I would protect her from being picked on, maybe by placing her in a dog crate with food and water near the others to remain in the flock. Offer her some cooked egg or a little tuna with her usual feed to help grow her new feathers.

No respiratory issues. What would molting have to do with her eyes and comb?

Maybe give her Electrolytes? Rooster Booster is good

Her comb looks dry and pale, but also like she has been pecked, common with molting or feeling bad. Does she have bubbles or foam, or any gunk in her eye?

Her comb looked ok the day before. I have her separated from the flock. Im giving her rescue 911, It’s for distressed chickens in their water. She has gunk in her eyes and they look like she’s squinting. Also someone asked to see her feathers. The ones missing on her neck is from a little witch that plucks them from everyone she can!!

The bubbles in her eye might be a sign of mycoplasma (MG.) Her eye looked damaged in the inner corner. I would clean her eye with saline and then apply a tiny bit of Terramycin or plain Neosporin into her eye twice a day. She just looks like she has been beateni up and feather picked. I would probably watch to see who it doing it, and separate them or get rid of them. Pinless peepers are something you can put on the bully to make it hard to aim and peck, but be able to eat and drink. Make sure the hen is not being kept from food and water, and consider putting her in a crate with food and water for awhile to heal.
