    Do you know where I can get the tubing? What’s it called?

    How long can a chicken go without eating or drinking?

    She has not drank anything. I tried to give her a few drops with a syringe but she wasn’t swallowing and I got scared I could make it worse. I don’t have the tubing to tube feed.
