Yes I’m definitely not gonna give up. I haven’t thought of making some mash maybe she will eat it. I’m going to keep trying as well I know she’s going to eventually have an appetite and eat normally. I think she’s going to be okay it’s very stressful trying to help it makes me so sad on that she...

I feel like I keep going back and forth with her. One day it seems like she’s improving and then the other she’s not. She hasn’t ate anything. I was offering her watermelon before but stopped eating that she’s not interested in it. She just sits all day and doesn’t bother to drink water either...

I gave her some scrambled egg she didn’t eat much of it but did eat some. I know she’s gonna start improving too just slowly but she will!!

She started to drink water on her own yesterday not too much. She’s been pecking at the feed but doesn’t eat much. Should I keep giving her the sugar water??

Okay so I give her the syringe twice every two hours. Yes, I know she’ll get better soon. Thank you so much I’ll ask more questions whenever I need too and I appreciate all your help :) 💗

She actually does seem a little better I’ve been giving her the sugar water every 2 hours. She pecked a little bit at the starter crumbles but not a lot. I have a question though if a 5ml syringe is enough?

okay thank you again that’s what I had in mind :)

It’s okay and no it’s not. I’m gonna try to help her with what I was doing before. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to stop until I knew she was 100% back to normal.

oh okay thank you so much I’ll start to try this. And just one syringe every 2 hours? when would I give her the starter crumbs? After she seems like she’s getting better?

Hello, good afternoon hope all is well!! I’m back and not with the best news. My hen seems worse at least today. Because it seemed like she was getting better. But today she doesn’t seem active at all and seems slow. I have no idea if she still has impacted crop? I think it came back again this...

What ratio with the sugar water? I’ll see if I can get starter crumbles. I’m not to sure if she’ll eat them because she has no appetite. right now she’s currently sitting down with her head down too she doesn’t seem very well. Was your hen underweight too?

Yes I was dealing with a crop issue it was impacted crop. I titled my post that way because I believe she has something else but it’s not impacted crop or sour crop. But it’s a crop issue and I’m not sure what. Today her crop actually didn’t empty but it wasn’t hard it was quite squishy but not...

Her crop is emptying yes. She’s about to be 6 years old next year she hasn’t laid an egg for a while last time was maybe when she was 4 years old. I normally feed her regular food and snacks it’s always fruits and veggies she likes watermelon,grapes, etc… I’m aware of the foods hens can or can’t...

One of my hens was dealing with impacted crop she isn’t anymore. But she doesn’t have much of an appetite and it’s concerning me because shes underweight. I’m not sure what’s going on or what can be wrong. I believe it’s a crop issue more than impacted/sour crop. She isn’t really eating feed...
