I found my 2.5 year old silkie hen sitting in the grass not moving brought her inside she was having trouble holding her head up but was still eating and drinking now she is cold and is just closing her eyes I've been feeding her baby food from a syringe but I dont know what else to do
 
Welcome to BYC

How is she doing now?
How long has she been like this?
Do you have photos of her and her poop?
Does she lay eggs? When was the last one?
Is she pooping?

With her having trouble holding her head up, she may have Wry Neck(?).
You can try vitamin therapy to see if helps. Give her 400IU Vitamin E along with 1/4tablet B-Complex daily.

If she seems cold, you can provide her with a little extra warmth. A heating pad set on low, just make sure she can get away from the heat if she gets too hot.
