➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I'm glad you mentioned it! I do know one person that used a tube with sharp edges and ruptured their bird's crop.

What a nightmare! Possibly caused by bad advice. I'm terrified of giving bad advice so decided to cover my bases!

I might just do that if I have to buy another but hated to just toss it if it were unnecessary. Trying to dig up some way to get the rust off and safely seal it to stop more from forming but I just don't know if it's possible. Maybe I'll find some repurposed use for it. I hate plastic crap though!

Naval Jelly can be used to take the rust off. You can then paint it using the Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer. After you have it primed you can then paint it with something like Rust-Oleum Rubberized Undercoating.

@casportpony is it safe to assume that bird didn't make it?

Thank you. I read that but I'm scared toxins may be present in the Rustoleum.

I don't think it was bad advice, I think they didn't understand the anatomy. :iduuno.

Yeah, it died.

Since the subject came up, these are crop feeding "needles". These are too small for most poultry, so don't get all excited and buy them, lol.

Once it is dried and cured it is fine.

Look what I found her eating when I got there.

I got 9.5 mL of the slurry into her just fine. I will give her more in a few hours.

Btw, I did stick the tube up my nose.
