Anyone with a small flock and who has a chicken die

[karen+3chickens]

Thanks everyone. We're off for vacation now. I'll let you know what happens.

I'm sorry for you. This is a dumb thought but have you tried putting electrolytes in a syringe and give her a cc or so of concetrated electrolytes?? It would stimulate her drinking. Another thing to consider is Optizyme by Manna Pro probiotics, and some flax seed oil, might help her digest what is in their a little better. Hope she makes it.

I hope you see this before you go. I just saw your thread. If she is that bad, I would have her humanely released of her suffering before you leave.

Joe, I'm so sorry.

JJ

It just occurred to me - probably too late - that the OP is likely somewhere near another BYC member who could keep tabs on the hen.
