I have a 5 year old hen who is suffering from water belly. It's to the point where the sack is no longer soft and squishy but its hard and she is not moving very much. We have talked about culling her, but for having chickens as long as we have had them, we have never had to do this. My question is, what is the best method? Has anyone ever used dry ice as a method? We have used it for smaller animals (2 pet mice) we had that have been sick with cancer, but I don't think my husband or I could wring her neck, though my husband says he could if he had too.
Any helpful hints or ideas? Thanks.
