One hen, one rooster, means the hen never has a break from the stress of being the only hen being bred by the rooster. I would separate her, put b complex and ground children's vitamins with minerals in her water with a little sugar, and hand feed her drops.

I would also put her food where she can reach and include treats in her food. You might have to prop her up so she can eat and drink.

I have a serama hen that is not doing good and I'm hoping someone here can give me some ideas on how to help her.
She is an indoor chicken and lives in a rabbit cage with her rooster. The rooster is fine and she was fine yesterday. Just the hen is sick. I found her sitting on the bottom of the cage at and at first thought she had died, but when I picked her up she opened her eyes. She is breathing normally, and I don't see an injuries. She is just very listless, won't eat or drink. I tried giving her some water with a medicine dropper but couldn't get her to open her mouth. Anyone have any ideas?
