And how many mL should I do

No idea about mL, but you could feel the crop on a few healthy chickens and try to fill hers that full.

It is handy that chickens have their crops where we can feel them!

Make sure she is HYDRATED before tubing any formula. Tubing formula to a dehydrated bird can kill them.

If you don't have one already, you will also need a kitchen scale to monitor her weight.

Here is an amazing article with everything you need to know about tube feeding.

Thank you, OM! I have no way to link things and the OP needed some more.

Ok so an update: she is still alive and I tube fed her today. She seems to be eating a bit but today I noticed something. She still has a lot of extra saliva and her one eye had a lot of bubbles in it. I have been giving them toxicilyn and doxycycline ? Don’t know how to spell them but I have been giving them that for mycoplasma for 6 days now. If it’s not mycoplasma what else could it be? And the one who keeps sneezing which is the one I got the treatment for is still sneezing and doesn’t seem to be getting any better. What else is there for respiratory diseases?

Any ideas at all?? I’m starting to think I can fix this if I know what it is!
