Any ideas on what could be wrong with Constance?

[Lillith37]

The vet did a flush on Constance yesterday to see if it might help her and to test what was in her crop.

Since there is a chance Constance has heavy metal poisoning and I have other chickens, I thought it would be good to know how to do a flush just in case another presents similarly, so I can try that in the first instance before pursuing veterinary care.

Are there different flushes to treat different things?

If the vet recommended epsom salts flush, then that is what you should do.

Other flushes include molasses or giving activated charcoal to help flush out toxins.
