I've always found crushing up some mealworms quite useful, mixed in with a touch of scrambled eggs. Nice protein shot for the hen and a bit smelly too...might help entice her. Best of luck x

Yes keep us posted and good luck with her. Do try the scrambled egg it has all the building blocks of life in the them and they do love it. Same mix of electrolyte I was going to post, this should give her a boost and if you get her hydrated again she should perk up some.

As @tjo804 said dehydration can cause a quick decline. Please do keep us posted and good luck with her

It's not looking good. Just went down this morning and she's still alive, but hanging on by a thread. She won't open her eyes at all and won't let me put any water down her throat. She is just pleasantly sleeping, almost coma like, and I wrapped her up in a towel and said my goodbyes. So sad I have to go out today :'(

Is she still alive?

Thats a start
Electrolytes like gatoraide to bring up her hydration levels.
This is a link to make some at home with common kitchen ingredients.

If you can make up the electrolytes and grind up some chicken feed with yogurt and electrolyte water see if you can get some of that down her or even just the electrolyte solution dehydration will start to shut down organs in small animals very quickly.

Good instructions.

Good instructions.

I shouldn’t keep chooks as I just don’t have the guts to do the right thing by them when it time to give the quick end . And
Peace .
