It’s still pretty hard, and it seems like maybe it emptied a little bit. She did have water in the cage with her so she may have drank before I checked. She seems very hungry, and eats when I offer her food. Should I feed her or let her crop empty out first? She is much for alert than yesterday, but she still will not move.
When you are offering her food, is it her normal chicken food or a treat?
I’m offering her normal food. I’m not sure about the poop- I’ll go check. The crop is somewhere between hard and mushy- it’s not exactly hard but it is much firmer than the other chickens. I can still kinda squish the food in it.
I checked her poop and it is yellowish and a bit runny. Because she cannot move, a lot if it has gotten stuck to her feathers. I am going to try and bathe her. I am about to check if maybe she is egg bound, I will update you after that.
At first she would barely move, and when she did she limped heavily. Now I cannot get her to move.
Okay so I checked to see if she was egg bound and I didn’t feel anything. At this point she won’t even move for food, and she just sits wherever you set her all fluffed up with a glazed look in her eyes. Also, her crop is feeling much more normal again.
Does she growl at you?
No- she won’t react to anything. The second you set her down she lays in the exact position you set her in, even if it’s clearly uncomfortable. Also, the bruises on her foot seem a bit darker today. I gave her a bath and cleaned her up, and she ate and drank a bit. I will check her again in the morning!
