okay, I’ll stick to scrambled egg then thanks!

It's well-meaning when someone advises inverting a chicken to empty its crop, but it risks instant death by choking. The risks greatly outweigh the benefits. Do not try it.

Here are the different crop disorders and how best to deal with them. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

She’s a beautiful chicken. How’s the rest of your flock doing?

@alhln Thank you! The rest of the flock are fine! They run towards me like in a really funny manner when they see me!

We raised 2 from chicks and thought one was a hen but they both turned out to be cockerels! However they get on fine, and the one we thought was a lady likes to hump the floor
How are your chickens?

The Coxoid / Amprolium arrived today so I gave her some in her water. Hopefully the Flubenvet arrives tomorrow and I can give her some of that.

Sorry for keep posting poo pictures but I picked her up to put her outside to get some fresh air and freedom and she did this runny poop. There looks like a worm perhaps in there? I poked it with a stick and it fell apart really easily so perhaps it wasn’t? Either way, if it was a worm, hopefully flubenvet will sort her out!

Maybe it's the remains of an earthworm, if it fell apart easily? Sure does look like a worm! One of my chickens had roundworm about a year ago. Those worms definitely do not fall apart. Unfortunately, we didn't catch her symptoms in time and she didn't make it.

Your flock is beautiful! I love how fluffy they all are.

I think the fact your chicken is still hanging on is a great sign. Fingers crossed that either the Amprolium or the Flubenvent does the trick
