I was told by someone else here in town to do that. I think that might get some of the stuff moved from her crop but not sure. She was acting fine when I went down to shut them up for the night. I didn't see her eat or drink this time but I did leave a light on close to the ground so that she can get under it and maybe stay warm if it is cold. She might get up on the milk crates I have down there and roost for the night. Time will tell but I can't afford to take every chicken that gets sick to the vet or buy a lot of different meds to have on hand JUST IN CASE. Don't think the did that in the olden days. Easier and cheaper to get new chicks and replace this flock if need be.
lovinchicks, I am really sorry for your loss. I have lost three others as well as some of my RIR's awhile ago and it isn't easy to sit and watch them go. Hope things get better for you. SORRY again for you loss. Deb
