When taking any animal their welfare is paramount and is totally your responsibility, in sickness health and end of life. We may not always make the right choices but having a little guidance certainly helps and this article is helping me right now. Thank you!

There will be some on this site that cannot have access too a vet, and in some cases the last thing a sensitive chicken needs is to be further traumatised by strangers.

Carbon Dioxide Poisoning

Note: if not performed properly, this method can harm you as well. It is important to follow directions.
This method is very relaxing. The chicken will find itself becoming sleepy, fall asleep, but not wake up.

To perform this: Gather a container capable of being sealed properly. Put peroxide or vinegar and baking soda mixed together in the container, and put the chicken inside. Close the lid, and in a few minutes the chicken will have passed. This produces carbon dioxide, which is important to not inhale yourself.

Have you actually tried this yourself?

We tried the Tylenol and valerian root not once but twice. The 2nd time we tripled the meds. Mortifying!
