Someone help! Quickly!!! Don't know what is wrong!!!!!

[Melissalivings]

My cuckoo silkie who is around 3-4years old has suddenly over the last few days become lazy with her head in her chest and her tail and wings dropping. She sometimes has trouble walking and is sometimes shaking. She recently had red mites but looks as if we managed to get rid of them all. She is also seriously skinny and won't eat or drink. Her feet are cold also!

Thankyou so much

She looks very weak, and perhaps dehydrated. I would mix up some watery feed and a little raw egg and plain yogurt, and try to dip her beak into it. She would benefit from tube feeding if you can manage to learn that by reading a thread called "Go team tube feeding" which you can find her on BYC by searching at the top of this page, or by Googling that. Do you have any electrolytes and vitamins for chickens? What are you using for mite treatment? Permethrin dust or spray are very good, and mites will hatch out every 5-7 days, so doing a once every 7 days treatment a couple of times may help.
