    Chicken swallowed something! String hanging out of mouth

    well soon after I cut that string short, I put some olive oil in her mouth, and turned her loose in the run. She acted normal for the rest of the night, She ate, I didnt see her drink. But this morning she is out scratching and pecking with the rest of the chickens. Maybe the string fell off.

    Chicken swallowed something! String hanging out of mouth

    Dangit I ended up cutting the long string I needed to hold her tongue out. I cant reach her tongue now. please give me advice. I know it sounds horrible to think of so soon, but I dont want this girl to suffer for a week. When should I cull or what signs should I watch for?

    Chicken swallowed something! String hanging out of mouth

    Yeah the string is wrapped around the tongue. Its a very fine string, thinner than dental floss. I cut some off. but im not sure if its a synthetic fiber or cotton. I cant cut it at the tongue. Its sunk it way to deep. cant unwind it either

    Chicken swallowed something! String hanging out of mouth

    Oh man, one of my 6 week old chicks is very sick. I came home and she has string hanging out of her mouth. I tried gently pulling it but it is stuck. And it hurts her when I pull it. She does not look good. The animal clinic said that no one is in to look at her. What should I do.

    okay here is a side shot. I swear chickens will not hold still! Here is a shot of the other chick that looks like him and is the same age, probably from the same parents. this one is bigger by a little bit, tail feathers are longer. But it has a white comb and not much for waddles either so Im...

    Here is one of my 6 week old chicks. This is the only one whose comb and waddles look this red. And they are also the biggest by far. This must be a rooster right? And Im pretty sure he is a blue wyndotte?
