It has been about 2 weeks now that my young Silkie hen refuses to eat. I don't know if she is drinking. I first noticed that she had gone light and was very weak and acting very listless. I put her in a separate pen with a friend. Every day when I feel her crop, there is nothing in it, and she is still very light. I have been syringing Zupreem into her once a day, and I think that is all that is keeping her alive. The friend is eating and drinking and seems fine. Any thoughts...?
 
I have offered mealworms and bread, but she showed no interest at all. I'll try a few different snacks.
