I have a hen that is not eating. I dont know what happened I do know it started when I moved her from my loft into the garage for some individual breeding. The cages are new and clean. ---I put her by herself with feed and water with terramicin and vitamins with electrolytes. I also hand fed her regular feed and that medicine mix I made. Is there anything you can recomend? (I've never had any sick birds in 2 years.) She lost weight and is weak. thanks

Stress caused her to get sick. If the bird is not feeding, then mix some pellets with water to mush it up and feed her twice a day using "Baby nose picker" you will find it in the pharmacy along the ayle of baby items. Also every day, use an "eye droper" and give antibiotic for 10 days straight.

HEY JUAN,
It could be that she is not used to the bacteria at your house opposed to your Dads house. You may consider getting some Probiotics. I have some, if you need, just call me.
