I have an 8 year old barred rock hen, a fabulous layer back in the day, but with slowly worsening weakness of both legs over the last several months. She walks, but takes very small steps. She finds it very difficult to hop/fly to get up onto the 3 ft high compost bin, for example, something...
Looking for advice on helping my 3 day old baby chicks with impacted crop. She stands tall and looks like she's trying to vomit. Crop appears quite large. I picked her up and massaged the crop, hoping to move the contents southward, but instead stuff came up through the mouth.
Diet is standard...
