It's dawn dish soap. keep her out of water for a couple day after to give her time to spread the oils over her feathers again. I'd also keep her where there is no wind to chill her till she is dry since she has wet feather. her insulation is compromised.. So happy to hear she is eating again..

Update when you can.

You know her better than anyone. I say give it a go but you do what you feel is best. Sure sounds like she has made a turn around.

I can’t make that decision for you. I’m just thinking at least if something showed up in blood work there maybe something that can be done. I sure do understand about the price though it’s awful what they charge. You still have that I picture of that blob she passed last week. I wonder if you...

Is a vet an option having blood work done might show up something? I can’t see you having to tube feed her the rest of her life. Has she lost quite a bit of weight

Your very welcome, I just hope we can get her back to normal. :fl

Well it won't hurt to try it and see if she'll eat the pellets since she isn't eating the crumble. Keep me updated.

Since you are seeing her acting much better other than the eating her feed why not just skip tonights feeding and see how she does tomorrow. If she hasn't eaten by noon then tube feed her I wish I knew what else you could do but I don't. They do make pellets in an all flock feed so if she likes...

I can't think she would be getting enough in her foraging to make her not want to eat her feed. Unless you have an abundance of earth worms and other critters she could eat. Mine have full access to a little over a half acre and they still eat a lot of feed. Do you have any pellets to test out...

What besides her feed are you giving her I know you said mealworms. I was just wondering if you cut out everything but her feed if she might start back eating it again.

How are things going today?

It's a start good new for sure. Have you thought that maybe you might cut back on any threats you are offering just till she is eating her feed better?

Try it for a day and see if she will start to eat her feed.

I think that is a good choice, sure sounds like she isn't ready to say goodbye either. Keep me updated.

That is a good sign, Hopefully hunger will come just keep it where she can have access and keep tube feeding if she doesn't start. What do think do you feel it is time to say goodby or give her more time?

Also how is she since she pooped that out?

Wow, that is weird. I have no idea but It doesn't look like something that should have been in there. Possibly some kind of lash egg If you still have it slice into the main body part and post pictures. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/what-is-a-lash-egg-all-you-need-to-know-more.77939/

So she isn't preening? Do you have her inside or is she staying in the coop. Adding some protein can help her feathers but a good molt will do the best at getting her feathers in shape. So she isn't acting depressed like she has given up on life. I have 3 Buffs 2 will be 8 end of April one is 4...

Did you remove the oyster shell and grit from their feed? They can overdo on both and get impacted we had a member whose duck did this very thing. Put the oyster shell and grit in separate bowls close by their food. They will use it as they need it. I mix the ACV with the warm water and pour it...

Do you know why she stopped eating? Has she lost weight? what are her symptoms? You might try cutting back and offering warm wet feed and she if she'll eat any It doesn't have to be much because you don't want mold to start growing for one thing. I did add a small amount of ACV with mother to...
