Okay thanks that’s encouraging. No lice or mites. I have been giving her water and electrolytes with a syringe as well.I had a hen had the same problem. After I dewormed her, she started to eat in 24h and became much better in 48h. I would say if you don't see any improvement in 2~3 days, it might be a different issue. Also check if there are mites or lice around her vent. If possible, syringe feed her some water.
Every symptoms my hen had were identical to yours: weak, not eating, not leaving roost, she's the only one chicken acted sick, dirty butt & runny yellow poo, etc. However, these symptoms could also caused by other illness, so if deworming does not work, try to find another treatment. I treated mine with Corid first, no luck. Then I dewormed her, she quickly recovered. I planed to try antibiotics if deworming failed, since I have respiratory disease in my flock. People here usually are very helpful to give you ideas for treatments. Good luck with your girl! You did great job to save her.Okay thanks that’s encouraging. No lice or mites.

Thank you, that is encouraging!! I’m hoping she starts to turn it around a little tomorrow. I got the second dose of safeguard in her tonight and I got her some water via syringe which she seemed to be more accepting of this evening. We’ll see what tomorrow holds. Hoping for the best as she’s a really sweet gal.Every symptoms my hen had were identical to yours: weak, not eating, not leaving roost, she's the only one chicken acted sick, dirty butt & runny yellow poo, etc. However, these symptoms could also caused by other illness, so if deworming does not work, try to find another treatment.
