tail down, lethargic , drinking.

She stood up and got very excited when she saw the food, then stood while eating. I have hope.

Great!
Stimulation is often half the battle...to get them to eat and drink,
then things roll back to 'normal'.
Hope she continues to improve.

Isn't she just lovely, such a sweet face.

Hard to know what's going on there. I would start out with giving Vitamin E (400IU) and 1/2 tablet of human B-Complex daily.

today , omelet was able to walk. YAY!!! I let her out of the kennel for 10 minutes to stretch her legs. the vitamins seemed to help.
I think one more day in the kennel ?? she’s sleeping in the coop tonite but I’ll put her in confinement again tomorrow.
More vitamins ??? And she seemed to drink a lot of water today...maybe 1/2 cup or more .. not sure the exact amount but at least that amount. Maybe that’s normal ?
the scrambled egg and cottage cheese really brightened her morning.
thanks again

That is the best video EVER! Go Omelet!

Chickens drink on average two cups of water per day, so urge her to drink as much as she can to get close to that target.

Keep the vitamins up for another few days, as well as the high protein diet of special foods. It appears she was weak and going lame from starvation and vitamin deficiencies. This is called "diagnosis by trying something and seeing if it works".

This diagnosis attempt Seems to be RIGHT ON!
she is up....and she is alive. I’m happy and very appreciative.
let’s say a prayer and check back tomorrow.

Glad to see she is doing better!
I agree with @azygous continue the vitamins for a few more days and encourage eating, hopefully she will make a full recovery.

I hope so...she is a special And very sweet girl. As you can hear in the video...she is very talkative. Tonight, when I took her out of the kennel, and carried her to the coop...she tucked her head into my jacket and nestled into my arm pit, under my jacket . I could have cried...I love her so much.

In the first video you posted, she has such a sweet face. Yes! I heard her chatting! I love it when they do that. I've had a few that were very special, it makes it all the more worrisome when you know something isn't quite right.

Your videos of Omelet sounds like an EE of mine, Weezer, who has the same complex vocalizations. I keep whispering to my Weezer, "teach me your language so we can talk".

Thank you for understanding.i don’t have human children,...so my pets mean so much more to me than the average person. and she is definitely special. I have had her since she was 4 days old.
