Hen mysterious illness?

[severance]

My hen has been in isolation for about a month due to an injury that she sustained from our rooster but we’ve already gotten rid of him. She’s been healed but we’ve been struggling to join her back to flock because of the other hens being mean so she’s been inside in a pen.

This morning I went to check on her and she was sprawled out and kept falling over and over and lunging her head forward into the bedding. Before this, she was eating, drinking, and laying fine.

I thought it was from heat and stress so I’ve taken her out and sat her with me to have a fan blowing on her but she still continues to pant.

Symptoms; Not being able to sit properly, lunging body and or head forward, panting, keeping her tail down, jerking and twitching with the lunging, and wanting to just lay down, not wanting to eat or drink even when offered.

She layed recently and I can’t see a difference in her droppings.

Seems like either she's aspirating or possibly has something like Wry neck. If she is aspirating I'm not sure what you can do for anything that entered her airways, but check her crop carefully.

Maybe hold her up so she's not leaning forward and choking on anything she might be expelling to see if that makes any difference.

She’s held her neck up by herself, and isn’t liking sitting up very much.

How does her crop feel?

How does her crop feel?

It feels empty and soft?? I can’t feel anything like how it feels after she’s eaten.

What has she been eating?

The local we buy from recommended

Game Time Elite 18% Gamecock Conditioner feed​

And I give them treats occasionally,
I only thing out of the ordinary was feeding her a small piece of banana as a treat yesterday but she was perfectly fine all day

She stopped panting with her mouth open and her tail area/bottom is twitching

Have you checked her vent area?

Is there any calcium in that feed?
