VERY lethargic sick chicken please help

[Cedarhillhomestead]

My poor baby susu is a NN silkie bantam. She has always been on the struggle bus. She had a lame leg when I first got her at 5 months and we helped heal that. As soon as she got healthy and walking again, she became our bantam NN silkie roosters favorite. She would often lay on her side when mounted and wouldn’t move for a long period of time afterwards. Many times I’ve found her sleeping on her side and snatched her up thinking she was dead. She will just lay there while everyone runs and scratching and flashing. Sometimes I think she could have a neurological thing.

We listed the rooster yesterday and separated him but this morning I came outside and he had escaped/ she was laying lifeless. I don’t actually know if he has anything to do with this. He’s not aggressive to my eye. I Brought her inside and gave her a bath, got some electrolytes and rooster booster in her.

She will not eat or drink on her own. Poop looks good, no mites no worms. She lets me open her mouth to get the syringe in, I can basically do anything to her. She appears to be in a thick haze. Any ideas? She does not seem well at all.

First photo is how I found her this morning

Did you try vitamin E? Silkies are notorious for neurological issues. Vitamin E is valuable in treating them. You can also use Tumeric with the E if the E isn't producing any improvement.

Silkies and other vaulted head birds are very prone to vitamin deficiencies, more specifically vitamin B12 and vitamin E. I suggest continuing treating her specifically vitamin B12 and E. Vitamin deficiencies can take a week or 2, maybe more to recover, it just depends on the bird, how much she's absorbing and how much she's lost. As for anything else neurological, diseases such as Marek's Disease (MDV) or Avian Leukosis Virus (ALV) can cause very similar symptoms.
