    Dying chicken?? Help!!

    I’ve tried giving some dissolved Tums as I believe this may be the only thing that’ll help. I can’t feel an egg. Maybe she is hypocalcemic and in shock? I’m here with her, praying for a miracle.

    I’m trying to get tums into her but she’s not swallowing. She won’t lift her head or open her eyes. I pulled her from the tub as soon as she started dropping her head.
