She pooped! She stood up, opened her eyes, and pooped! I've never been so happy to see poo before!

Azygous, you are amazing!!!

Wonderful!

I moved it around just to check the inside of it. It is slightly green, there were a couple fibers of grass, has some pieces of seeds in it, very wet (as you can see it has distributed into the blanket), and lots of solid white. It does not have too strong of an odor. I smell a bit of an amonia-esque sent and a bit of grassy hints.
Honestly, it's a pretty decent smelling poop.
I never thought I'd say this before.

That's gotta help!

And we are never too old to keep stuffed animals.

I think she feels a slight bit better too! Definitely needed to get that out! She opened hers eyes for a few moments!!!! And now she's starting to preen! I don't know how long it will last but she's definitely moving more than being fast asleep. Hopefully she can work some more out and recover

Another poo! This one is more amonia like. It was also slightly green and the urates were slightly yellow. It was very soft.

Sometimes it happens a sick chicken will appear to be on the brink of death one minute, and then rally suddenly the next. Usually, it's a trend toward recovery rather than a false turn. We have every reason to believe the patient has turned the corner and is on her way back to normal.

Continue the sugar water for the rest of today to keep her stabilized.

Thank you so so so much! What a blessing you all have been to us! I sure hope she recovers well. She is actually walking some right now and pecking around! We are so hopeful now. We will keep everyone updated! I am scrambling an egg for her with some salt, sugar, and coconut oil in it.
