Either oil is good. tsp is fine. 5 days is what is needed.

Give her some olive oil, massage the crop. Try to break it up. Not the form I use. I use the powder. But I see it being used here on the BYC forum, so it should work if her crop is moving. Most post say to give her a 'pea sized' dose.

This may help you decide what you should be feeding your chooks. But the short answer is 'No'. More isn't always better. https://afs.ca.uky.edu/poultry/common-nutrition-related-problems-poultry

Commercial feed is the bare basic nutrition needed to keep a hen alive and laying. They don't make Commercial feed for backyard chickens, they make it for Commercial growers. That's why it's grouped as 'Layer' and 'Meat bird' feeds. Right now, her crop isn't functioning properly at all. Take...

Well, she needs calcium for sure. Do you treat preventatively for parasites? Wormer? Mites/lice?

Well, I did learn that eye worms aren't inside the eyeball, they are under the eyelids at the corner. I don't see anything in your video. I'm learning towards mites. But I don't see anything in the video that points to mites.

Side bar: With the intermittent foam in the eyes...shaking head... Eye worms? You're upper faculty level in chicken matters, are you still convinced this is MG? I'm not. But I've never seen a confirmed case of eye worm. She's definitely got multiple issues going on. I'm thinking a parasitic...

Can we get a close up of her head. Both sides, get her when her eyes are open if possible.

TG! For a minute there we were about to go in a whole new direction. How's she looking?

I thought that too, but they seem pretty uniform in size and length. I figure I should confirm.

Baicalin is the active compound in Chinese Skullcap. It has some pretty comprehensive clinical studies showing it is effective against MG, Avian Flu and Marek's Disease. It's not a cure, it's a viable treatment that supports the immune system and actively suppresses the viruses. I know MG is a...

Yes on the Baicalin. We all choke our chicken occasionally administering meds. If she coughed it up, she will be fine. Maybe watch a few videos on administering oral meds to a chicken. It's a skill. Dry ears are great, it means the infection hasn't filled them with fluid and dried up yet. No...

Your going to have to lube up your index finger and go get it. It's soft shell membranes and they aren't coming out on their own. It's why she's prolapsed and bleeding. IF there's an obstruction..... Oxytetracycline and Tylan don't mix. You can't give them within 48 hours of each other. It...

Her ears are likely filled with fluid and it's drying. You can check her ears by lifting the tiny feathers that covers them.

Use the 500mg if you have access to it. 425mg is a minimum dosage. Soak her. Get her cleaned up. Coccidiosis is possible, but you need to triage the situation. It could be Blackhead disease, worms or a viral infection. If you have Amprolium/Corid, a prophylactic dose is a good idea. The vent...
