    He is also telling me that she also ingested plastic, but it didn't look like enough to kill her.

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    I had someone I know who is very experienced and knowledgeable about birds and chickens open her up for me and take a look around. So far what they are saying is her gizzard was impacted. It's knotted up with long grass. I feel terrible for giving her long grass. I killed my chicken.

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Murphy passed away tonight, today was her birthday. She turned one year old. We tried everything. I gave her an epsom salt bath because I heard it could help. After I took her out and dried her off, she seized up and died. I feel so heartbroken and I cried for a very long time. Thank you all for...

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Alright, thank you. I'll consider doing a necrotopsy, because I don't want this to happen again. It's just going to be hard letting them open up my sweet little baby, but it's for the good of my flock.

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    She hasn't died quite yet, as far as I know. I have a feeling she will when I come home. Thank you for the kind words, this is really hard. She is my favorite and first ever silkie, and she has great genes and has only produced one white chick. So it's just a cruddy situation. Do labs that do...

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Murphy went downhill this morning. I gave her nutridrench water, some oil, and got her to eat a little bit. I'm at school right now and I hope she is alright when I come home. She didn't want to walk when I left. When I return, I will give her another tylan shot and boil her an egg. Thank you...

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    I just gave her a tylan shot for the night and fed her some coconut oil and yogurt, got her to drink and eat a bit more, and put her to bed. I'll boil some eggs for her in the morning and make the yogurt egg food mixture for her in the morning. She has started to poop more frequently. It is...

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Alright, I have coconut oil. I'll give her chunks of it. Her crop has been empty except for the water with nutridrench, oil, and the small amount of food I got her to eat, so that's why I assumed the impact was in the gizzard. Because she is hardly pooping, and she hardly eats so I thought it...

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Murphy is doing much better today. I got nutridrench, and put it in her water. she is willing to drink, and she's drinking a lot. She eats a small bit, only if i hold it up to her. I did some research and I think she has impacted gizzard, which is probably from the long grass in my yard. I mowed...

    Alright, thank you very much. I've heard of nutri-drench, the feedstore near my house has some. I'll try to go get some tomorrow for her.

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Thank you. I just gave her a 50 unit shot of tylan 200 and she is now isolated in a cage with bedding in my room. I have some wet food mixed with oats in there for her, with sav-a-chick electrolytes in it. I'm also going to offer her some water. I don't have any vitamins on hand right now, are...

    No, we do not have a compost pile, or anything like it. Also, if she isn't willing to eat, do I force her to? I don't want to accidentally choke her, how do I go about it.

    Silkie hen won't eat, poor balance, can't poop URGANT!!

    Alright, Ill use tylan. I've given birds 50 units in the past without issues. She doesn't poop often, but when she does it's very watery and brown or green in color.

    The only antibiotic I have is tylan 200. I'm not sure if that would work though. Where could I get penicillin or amoxicillin?

    For a past couple days she acted kinda tired, but she still ate and foraged so I wasn't too concerned. But today it was a fast downhill event.
