    possible impacted crop

    Be extremely careful to get the tube past the small hole in back of her throat or she will aspirate. I hold the neck straight up with beak pointing to the sky. When you pull out make,sure you don't bring any water back up with the tube. Good luck.

    I need HELP i have an injured chicken

    I keep a,supply of dissolvable,sutures and,needles from my friendly vet. Just put a,towel over her head and sew up the wound. If you use hydrogen peroxide you must rinse it off. Give her amoxi clavamox for 5/days. This just works if its,a new wound.
