is it okay to give her Poultry Cell mixed in with her food? I gave her 3 cc's today seemed to pep her up.

I was also told that the Harrison juvenile formula was the best, but I have seen peoples posts of other methods to "feed" a better source of food to the chicken to insure that she survives.

Any food recommendations would be great because her feeding time is soon, and her crop is empty.

I used to hand feed baby parrots and as long as those crops were empty you could feed again but let them empty completely at least once a day. That is the basic rule when hand feeding any bird.

I personally do not know anything about what it entitles to hand feed any bird, this is my first time raising chickens and taking care of a sick one.

How's she doing?

I think the point they were trying to make is that you can feed them whenever their crops are empty or mostly empty, which in some birds, including poultry, means you can feed them every 2-4 hours. They also said that the crop should be allowed to completely clear once a day, and this is true, which is why it's not usually necessary to get up in the middle of the night to feed them.

Still kinda the same, we fed her 15 ml of formula, 5 ml of just a watered down egg yoke, 1 cc of poultry cell and of course her medications. Her poop is a little lighter in color but still none the less green with white, no foam.

Still the same demeanor. No change in attitude just more "okay" with being tube fed and meds, even though she still gets "Fighty" during that time, because we are messing with her.

well due to the constructions of our "little farm" today has been one of those slow days, She was fed at 10, as meds were as well. so its a late start. She is getting her meds at 4:30 for noon, and 9:30 for her night time meds.

feeding will be right after meds are administered, so that would be 3 feedings.
