Feeding capsule to a hen

[miiiraval]

hii, im mira and im new here!! i'd like to ask for some tips or anything that can help me feed my hen her antibacterial capsule. i think the capsule is kinda big for her to swallow plus shes really sick atm so i worry that feeding her the whole capsule might cause a problem for us.

Im not sure if i should just take the powder inside and mix it with water, because shes barely drinks water. Or just simply feed her the whole capsule.

I know it looks big, but chickens don’t have issues swallowing pills like we do. Just open her beak, and gently push it to the back of her mouth and she will swallow. Don’t shove it or anything though. Just gently set it in there
