The house hen

[VanUnamed]

the hen's leg became the same temperature as the other, the mass did not disappear but the swelling disappeared.
The last 2-3 days however, her respiratory infection has flared up. I am Not sure. her symptoms are consistent with chornic bronchitis. She never laid an egg. She did not eat much, only tasty things, some feed but very little and plenty of water. she sits in her usual place and rests. sometimes she breaths with her beak open, and sometimes i also hear a rale. I really do not what to do for her, i guess like people when they are sick they just rest. her eyes are clear and she is perfectly alert.

I am hoping for the best for your girl. It sounds like she's -- and you -- have had a rough time.

:'( she is still eating very little, feels like a rag. i love her so much and i don't want her to die, i don't know what to do to let her eat

It is possible she has "fowl typhoid". It checks all the boxes in

• Dejection.
• Ruffled feathers.
• Inappetance.
• Thirst.
• Yellow diarrhoea.
• Reluctance to move.

She has/had both yellowish diarrea, but also emerald green. It could also easily be newcastle. Being a chicken doctor is very hard, especially without a lab. If i am not wrong, the typhoid is treatable with an antibiotic.
