    Very sick young hen- no idea how to treat

    No, not yet. Syringe electrolytes onto her mouth. Massage as much as possible. My rooster went thru what, sounds like the same thing this week. It went on for about a week and a half. He was plugged up from something. YouTube has to make her regurgitate. Empty the crop. I realize it's on the...

    Rooster in peril

    Okay, so I've kinda figured out what's happening with corn flake. He apparently ate some spray foam from outside. His crop is completely full and, has a blockage . Called a vet, he said all we can do is surgery. All I can do is massage it thru if possible. No wonder he lost so much weight...
