I hope she feels better soon! I would stick a little bit of ACV in her water. I always feed mine Greek yogurt with honey when they're not feeling well. They love it!

She was just looking worse & worse, so DH put her down. We're guessing it must be something internal that we couldn't figure out because none of the other birds are sick (knock wood!).

So sorry for your sick girl. I know how frustrating it is when you don't know what is wrong and how to help them. Making the decision to put her down to stop her suffering is often the right one to do - but hard to do. I know she had a good life while she was with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I have a chicken who acted like that earlier this year. Just went "catatonic." Just stood for hours, staring into space, not eating or walking around. I put her in a crate in my house, & she just got better on her own, & is still with me. Who knows...?
