Last update...she is running with the pack, fighting for her share of food...and laid an egg yesterday! I think she is going to be ok...thanks to red wine, yogurt w/scrambled eggs and garlic water

Update...she is starting to do much better but still needs to gain weight back that she lost. She went right into a molt which didn't help her recovery. I finally just let her stay with the flock as long as she was roosting at night, which she did in her normal spot. There were times that she...

UPDATE: I weighed her when I turned her loose in the yard. I know she lost weight but I didn't think about weighing her when I first brought her in. Anyway, she has gained a little weight in 4 days...from 6.83 to 6.92. I know it isn't a lot but considering she is still being very careful with...

Well she is still not eating as much as I would like. I am not giving anymore wine starting today and going to be giving her and her friends yogurt a few times a day. She is going to roost but her crop is pretty empty and she is still pooping bright green and white somewhat runny poop, which I...

With sour crop you want avoid anything sweet...only protein and fat...otherwise you feed the candida (yeast infection). Those are definitely good for constipated humans though😄

I am n only giving 4 mils 3 X a day less than .14 of an ounce. I give her water through out the day but wasn't leaving it in her crate cause she would dump it over, plus yogurt. Dry red wine has 4 carbs per 5 ounces so she is getting less than .11 of a carb...you must drink.sweet reds, yes they...

So I dosed her with red wine 3 times yesterday, continued the yogurt, egg, and garlic. Added one drop of iodine to her water (it is the kind that I take in water so it is for internal use and is anti microbial) may not have been really enough to do anything but I figured it wouldn't hurt. This...

Ok. I was reading where several have used red wine...this morning she was slightly bloated feeling with a squishy ball..so I gave her a 4 droppers full....gently massaged her crop. She sounded very gurgle and even burped....so I left her quietly with her water. When I got home her crop was...

I am only finding pills...do I crush them Up? Or is there a liquid someone knows about?

Any stool softener? I am seeing mostly pills...any recomendation?

Thank you for the links...yes I have instacart and we have curbside pick up at Target and Walmart....I will check it out.

The crop isn't sloshy this morning but she definitely still has food, feels a little firmer than a kids squish ball (if you know what that is). I am wondering if I should do Dulcolax as was discribed in another link on treating crop issues. Anyone have experience with that? I didn't do as much...

I was watching the Incredible Dr Pol and he does chicken Temps rectally...I think I will pass on temperature since she is perking up again.

This morning she is much perking. Her crop still has stuff in it but not as much as when she went to bed with last night. Infact when she went down last night her crop was visibly noticeable and this morning it wasn't...although definitely not empty. She had 2 poops in the kennel, bery...

Her pupil dilation seems normal...and I got lost on taking her temperature...how do you take a chickens temp if not up the butt? Hold it under her wing?

There are no vets that treat chickens...and pretty certain it isn't worms. I read the article...I am struggling with whether I can get her to eat the vaginal stuff.... and since my husband and I are high risk we can't go to the drug store. Has anyone here used the vaginally medical and did your...

She is still pooping. She ate yogurt with coconut oil and drank garlic water...I am not leaving the water in with her cause her crop is still pretty sloshy and I am cincerned she could over do it on water. She seems more alert today...moves around in the kennel, stretches her legs and wings...

This is what her poop is looking like...there was a few more like it around the yard. When I went to get her tonight she was not perched, she was in the nest box sleeping...my hens never sleep in the nest box. I had the heating pad in the crate, she was gaping so I removed the heat. Since she...

Yes...maybe yesterday or day before...she doesn't lay everyday...usually 3 eggs, give or take, a week. She is an Amaraucana do not a high volume layer.

I have a hen that is a little over 4 years old. Today we noticed she wasn't really interested in eating much...would take a few bites of her favorite food then mozie away. She spent time hiding in bushes today instead of our foraging. I checked her crop, lots of water (she was hanging around the...
