Chicken passed away Saturday at about 8pm. I'm thankful her suffering is over. Though I wish things could be different I was raised with animals and livestock and they do sometimes die so I'm not taking it too hard. My oldest son even handled it better than I thought he would. He is seven...

Chicken is looking worse and worse... she hasn't eaten anything all day except a few bites that I set in her mouth, most of which she shook her head to get rid of, but a few she swallowed...I doubt she will make it through the night... which will be difficult to explain to my oldest son who has...

Need some advice this morning. I checked on Chicken this morning and her crop is empty... however she is looking really bad. She is extending her neck and breathing deeply. she looks like she is in pain, I don't have any baby asprin, or any asprin at all as I don't usually use it for myself...

Update on Chicken: This morning she was refusing water, all through the day I've had to give her droppers full of it to keep her hydrated, but she is also moving and twitching her head and neck around a lot today, and actually making a bit of noise sometimes, which she hadn't been doing since we...

Chicken is still alive, and it seems her crop has emptied enough for me to feel the actual impaction. She also has a bit of spunk this morning and wouldn't let me dip her beak in the water so easily. If she continues that I will have to go back to the dropper, but I think she was just being a...

That's my hope. That she is weak and it isn't anything else. I'm going to check on her in a few minutes and I will update afterward.

Will she be able to walk again do you think? Her foot is less curled up, but she still doesn't put any weight on it and doesn't try to stand.

Darn it! In was at Walgreens at 5am, and didn't pick any up.... I'll see if i can get it tonight. As of right now Chicken has been pooping normal looking poop, drinking when I dip her beak in the water, and still feels like something is in her crop, though it feels loose and moldable... It's...

And no I wasn't able to get the stool softeners like I was hoping yesterday, she is one of many things I've got to deal with right now... Namely home schooling two kids, chasing a toddler and nursing a two month old.

She is totally isolated in a plastic tote I usually use for my baby chicks when they are brand new. And her bedding is now a towel and some paper. And she has water available but won't drink u less I dip her beak in it, which is an improvement over yesterday when I had to use a dropper.

She is still alive... Her crop seemed less full last night, and she perks up after a drink of water, but this morning her crop was full again, I think she must have decided she was hungry last night and ate some bedding, she hasn't touched it all day yesterday so I thought it was safe to let her...

I'm forcing about half a teaspoon of water in her every few hours, and I just added a little pink Himalayan salt to the water... Someone suggested Gatorade, I have no chance of picking that up though.

I should also mention she doesn't stand, and has very bad balance and when i said she was thin... It is more than just a little thin... I'm afraid I'll lose her.

Currently she isn't eating at all. I forced a little water into her mouth and she happily swallowed it and then started moving her crop weirdly which I assume was her trying to move the food down... And I tried to offer a tiny bit of apple hoping that it would be more tempting than the water...

Hi there! I have really enjoyed reading your diaries... not all the way through them yet, but it is a relief to think there may be hope for my Austrolorp with an impacted crop. Please don't judge my two year old named her... here it is... her name is "Chicken". Anyway, Chicken was discovered...
