I think she will if I can figure a way to give her anti boitics.
I called 10n different places and the places that officially treated fowl wouldn't return my calls or schedule me in. I started calling at other towns and found an unofficial vet that said she would take Reba in since it's an emergency. You really gotta dig when it happens

This is a past post describing how to give liquid antibiotic. Have seen other site forums describing putting med in yogurt - assuming she likes yogurt.

** I do know some vets in our area have chickens even tho they don't treat them in their office…maybe they would help in an emergency.

I just give my chickens shots if they need antibiotics. So easy and you can get needles at Walmart for 25 cents. Chickens don't feel a thing. PM me if you want to know more.
 
Info for newbies: your hens need 14 hours of daylight to produce eggs. It's not the cold in the winter that keeps them from laying. It's that the daylight hours are so short. right now we are only getting about 10 hours. If you want them to keep laying, you will need to add artificial lighting. Best to put a light on a timer and set the timer to turn on at 4 am and off at 8 am. Some people choose to let their hens rest during the winter. Mine have just molted or been broody. I think it's time they lay me some eggs!

It must depend on more just the light? Breed and weather must be involved. I have Barred Rocks and Buff Orpingtons and they laid their usual quota all last winter. They even laid the day middle Ga hit a low of 5 F and high of 11 F. We don't do any light supplementation for them. But all I have ever seen reported is the duration of daylight. Glad my girls haven't received the notice.

Some breeds require less light than others. You may notice when people talk about breeds, they may mention that they lay good Thru the winter b
