Snowball is still sick!

[TOMTE]

Should I kill her?

That depends on you and her. Do you think you can help her? Does she seem like she wants to keep fighting?

For me personally, when to euthanize an animal always comes down to quality of life.

She just hasent improved in the last month I have tried to help her She is only eating and drinking and honestly she doesn't seem to want to live anymore. I agree with your statement on euthanization.

The wing holding just started today.

Can you give her some vitamins E and B complex? It saved many of my chickens before!

I have given her some and it has done nothing : (

Make sure she eats and drinks! If need be, keep her inside. Does her wing feel hurt or broken?

No.

Did you give it daily or just once or a few times? I think you're supposed to do it daily for a week?

Feel her crop - does it feel hard, empty, or like a water balloon? I agree with what was said above vitamins and and B complex. Does her under belly feel swollen and hard?

The wing issue is likely her trying to keep her balance because she is weak and under nourished. It could be because she doesn't feel like eating because she's sick or that she is afraid of shelly and hasn't been able to get the food water she needs. Also as mentioned above separate her and see if she eats. You could also give her some scrambled egg as well.

She has a all flock feed with 10% protein

Is this a typo? 10% protein is extremely low.

I did it daily for about 6 or 7 days.
