Hello everyone! So we currently have 11 chickens, 4 of them being silkies. Saturday afternoon we went outside to check on everyone and my biggest silkie (her name is Reba) was laying down very lethargic. Since Saturday she has not eaten or drank on her own or taken any steps. I have gave her some food and water orally with a syringe (don’t come at me for the syringe feeding it was either that or nothing at this point). I took her to our local animal vet this morning and they gave her fluids and did a fecal test on her and found no bacteria in her poop. They told me to buy rooster booster and I gave her some this morning with some yogurt but she is not getting any better. I’m out of options at this point and I don’t know what could even be wrong with her.. does anyone have any advice to help my girl? :(
 
How old is she? Does she lay eggs? How does her poop look, and is her crop empty or full? Does she move her legs or will she stand if you lift her up? Tube/crop feeding her fluids and some watery food is easy to learn.

She was hatched the very last week of March so almost 4 months.. she’s never laid eggs before. Her poop was super watery at first but it’s normal now (what little she does). She will try to stand and can sort of hold herself up but not really. Her crop is empty completely.
