Ameraucana pullet puffed up empty crop abnormal poop

She may be a bantam or just small, hard to know.

I hope she improves, keep us posted and if the vet does see her let us know what you find out.

Thank you I will! I hope she makes it until Tuesday. She has been standing up now and then but still puffed and no eating or drinking. I’ve been syringe feeding her corid water, and I also just syringe fed her some egg yolk. I went past her trachea so I know she didn’t aspirate.. a little water dribbled out of her beak a few minutes after I gave her the syringe of water. I put her back in her crate and she is laying on her side but breathing. I sure do hope she rallies. I will feel better if I see her stand up again after taking in more medicine.. I will be treating the entire flock with corid as a preventative measure until I know for sure what’s going on. She’s definitely not better since the Valbazen last night. I’m concerned that there isn’t improvement yet, when should I see the effects of Valbazen? I have given her 3 syringes of corid water, 3mL total. One before bed and 2 now. How often would you give her water? I was hoping she’d have the strength to drink on her own quickly.

She died within 5 minutes of this.. if I went past her trachea with the syringe, could I still have caused her death? Did I give her too many syringes and then she aspirated when it came back up?

I'm so sorry you lost her. Sending hugs..

Sometimes our best efforts are not enough to save our chickens.

I'm not equipped to answer your specific questions - still learning myself.

I'm sorry to hear she died

It sounds like she was not doing well if she wasn't standing on and laying on her side. Sometimes they decline quickly no matter what we try.

If she had aspirated, you would have noticed right off the bat, they will gasp and choke it's something you'd not forget, so I don't think you did anything wrong.

If you want to find out what was causing her symptoms, refrigerate the body and send or take it to your state lab, they will give you a report on their findings. https://www.metzerfarms.com/poultry...kqasgk7RC3e3pieDs_4YtXp4tZ7Rlx-CZ-VV2CAvCbivF

I wanted to do a necropsy but my husband wouldn’t let me refrigerate her body he got very upset when I suggested it.
