Trampled & Skinny Pullet — Thanks for helping

I think she’s giving up. Is it too late to switch to giving her the vitamins & electrolytes? Should I tube feed?

Doesn't sound too good.
Is she near her flock so she can see them?
I think I would cage her in the coop/run if possible, that way she's not so isolated.

Could be a number of reasons why she's starting to decline, but do the best you can to get her hydrated and eating. See how it goes.

No, she’s in the house. There’s chicks in the same room, she can hear but not see them. She’s not even wanting to stand up anymore or eat and drink.I don’t know, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s dead by morning.

Can you get some fluids into her?
I would try the electrolytes and see if those help.
I wonder if she suffered more injury than first thought

How many mLs of fluid should I try getting in her? I have stuff to tube her with

Thanks, I gave her some warm fluids but I think it might be too late. I should’ve been more proactive and done things differently. You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when somethings not going to make it? that’s what I’m feeling with Opal. She fought me with the tubing but now she’s just kind of laying there. Still breathing, but it seems like she’s asleep, you know? Like fighting me took what energy she had left

I'm sorry

She made it through the night, so I tubed her again and gave her warm fluids. I made a mash with her food and put little balls in her mouth. She eats them, but she won’t eat anything on her own

I would keep pushing fluids. You can make feed into a wet mush and tube that or use Kaytee baby bird formula.
I hope she improves.
