Thanks for the info Chickenstar! I just ordered the aloe detox. I have another hen that is having issues and I am going to give this stuff a try.

Well I was too nervous to tube feed her. I was worried that goat tube was too big. I continued to fight her with bird formula and syringe for 4-5 more days. I was happy as long as she was maintaining her weight. Sophie really decided she was ready to go back with the other chickens on her own...

Update on Sophie. She is back out with the others as of last week and has gained 6 oz. so all is good for now.

Just wanted to check and see if this is what you are talking about when you say goat syringe? When I went to the farm supply today this is what the guy showed me but said he thought it might be too big for a chicken. Could not find any size information on the metal tube. Thanks!

Thank you for the instructions. It is going to take me a day to work up some courage! I will let you know how it goes :)

NovaAman- Oh I know what you are saying!! For some reason she is doing good. I still have her in the crate but she goes outside every couple of hours and roams the yard and eats grass and bugs. She gets so excited when i walk in and say time to go outside. Poop is looking a little better. I...

If it is easier than what I am doing than YES!! This is a battle every time I try to feed her. I have never done it before so yes I would love instructions. What I am doing with her now is not getting any weight on her.

Fishnet1971 - I did try cat food but she didn't want it. For some reason she doesn't want anything wet . She used to love oatmeal. Now she goes to it, sticks her beak, shakes her head and walks away. Yes I did have ecoli with another one. I caught it really early and she did 5 days of Baytril...

So is the"drinking more water" just if I feed her the formula dry? The last poop I saw tonight looked a little dry. I guess I am going to have to give her more water with the syringe.

Sophie did not like the parrot formula!! This is going to be some hard work. I did get a good amount down her last night and this morning. This evening was the first time I have gotten a good looking poop out of her in 3 weeks. Hopefully I will start seeing some weight gain!! Fishnet 1971-...

Thank you so much for the information!!! My chickens are my babies so I am trying so hard to do all I can for her. She is doing good, just being a very picky eater. My wynadottes have never been the cuddling type like all my others. Sophie was always the least friendly but she is being so sweet...

Hey I'm with you one of my first questions would be about worming too :)

Is it still ok to feed it to her once it cools down? The website said to feed it when temp. Is around 102-104 degrees.

Yes my birds get wormed every 6 months. The vet tested her Friday and she was parasite free. We think I am dealing with some kind of liver/ kidney issue.

Thank you!! I read the instructions and also went on the website and just felt so nervous about feeding it to her. The "crop- slow down" and " burning the crop" kind of scared me. How often do you give it to them? She eats when she goes outside and free ranges but she won't eat anything she...

Chickenzoo - I finally found it today. How much do you feed and how often.

Thanks so much!! Great idea!

Well I took Sophie to the vet and it looks like she might have a liver/kidney issue. She is doing well but just very thin. She loves to free range and eat bugs but I can not get her to eat any chicken food. Also won't eat anything wet like yogurt, oatmeal or fruit. Does anyone have any ideas on...

Speckled Hen- thank you so much for the information! I was really wanting to add to my flock this next spring and Brahmas would be an excellent choice. I also have a beautiful Phoenix rooster so I might add a few Phoenix hens. Each year I have let my Barred Rocks and Buff orps hatch out their...

NovaAman- I understand what you are saying!! So what are we to do???
