Great! How is she doing today?

Update! I couldn't do the procedure gmendoza suggested..so I kept giving her the acv and yogurt. This morning she woke up feeling much better..she can sand up, she ate the yogurt on her own, she even tried to escape outside when she heard the other chickens so I have hopes she will survive and recover!

I wanted to thank you guys for all your help..I know that if you are raising chickens you should have a vet on speed dial..but sadly in our country (Romania) vets don't know much about birds..especially in our little town!
I'll continue to give her yogurt and acv in her water and I hope to come back with better news!

Great job!

x2!

Today she seems a little more dizzy than yesterday

..yesterday she talked to me, but not today. But she did clean her feathers, her beak, she jumped on the bed(I'm keeping her inside for now) so that made me happy. Oh, and yesterday she laid an egg, I don't know if that's a good thing or not, or if it's normal. She gets excited when she hears her mate outside, he is so sad without her, he's calling her all day! They are bantam barb d'anvers.
Twoscrambeld, I gave her acv straight at first, and then mixed with a little bit of water at aprox 4 hours.
I gave her yogurt and a mashed potato..yesterday she ate all by herself..but today I had to use a syringe to feed her again!

I don't know if I should keep her inside for a little bit more or to get her outside in the sun..what would you advise me to do?
And also..what else could I do for her?..I hate feeling powerless..

don't give acv straight, I usually dilute 1oz to 1 gallon of water!!

I think at this point, I would just let her go back to the flock and keep an eye on her.

First.. how does her crop feel?

• If it's still full and liquidy you really do need to lean her over and help her expel the gunk. Then give her the acv water for the day without anything else. Then try giving her some layer crumbles this afternoon. But no fruit or anything else. If it's sour crop, any sugar would make it worse. You're trying to kill the yeast in her crop that's causing fermentation, with the ACV.
• If it's empty, then let her out with the others to eat and just keep an eye on her to see if she perks up. If not, I'd go back to ACV in water and layer crumbles - all inside.

Someone who's dealt with this more than I may have better ideas.

First of all I want to thank you for all your great advices, you've been of great help. Second, this morning her crop was empty and she was feeling better so we let her out with the others and she seems to be doing fine. I'll be keeping an eye on her for the next few days. I hope she will make a full recovery. I'll post back soon with an update, thanks again!

It's been almost a week since my last post..I just wanted to tell you that my little Jojo is fine by now.

She's back with her hubby and seems happy. I hope she stays this way for a long time after what she went through.
