Pouring a little olive down it's throat and gently massaging the crop helps, other wise you'll have to make the chicken throw it up by turning it upside down at a 60 degree angle and massaging the crop towards the throat.

My 1st Article Submission.....

And Sumi gave me a little incentive to finish writing it!

My Article is being submitted because I almost lost my Beautiful Blue Cochin, Fluffy due to Vent Gleet this past Summer. What a stressful learning experience and WOW hard to find information to treat naturally. My girl was so thin and so wasted away and this treatment was AMAZING so I just have to share everything I learned in the process this past summer, and trust me I kept ALL the information I found and all the pictures I took when I was trying so hard to figure out what was wrong! So sharing is hoping to help someone else in that same stressful situation to get through and have the info they need at hand.
