EMERGENCY! Chicken ate hair tie!!

[cmlew99]

That is a good suggestion. Could I mix olive oil with their food?

Also, she has pooped.. It looks pretty normal. How long does it take something I pass through their system? Where would the hairtie be now?

Could I mix olive oil with their food? I'm not sure how to get it in her.

ALSO, her crop is mildly squishy in one spot. Is this a bad sign? How do I help it become normal again? Should I hold her at a sixty
degree angle and massage it? add baking soda to her water?

I mixed the olive oil in canned cat food. I used the Dollar General brand. They love it. Otherwise, people use a dropper to get it down, but I'm still too chicken to try that.

How is your chicken doing?

She seems to be doing alright... I just got back from vacation (i left for one night). She isn't lethargic, she eats, drinks, etc... Her crop isn't as big as it was before I left, so I assume that means she doesn't have crop impaction? I haven't watched her long enough to see whether or not she has pooped. Thanks for asking, it means a lot!! I'm beginning to hope that she'll make it through this unscathed. I haven't seen anythig obvious in the poo, but then, I haven't really looked very hard. I'll post tomorrow with an update!

She's still okay! I saw her poop too! It looked normal.

 

[cmlew99]

She continues to act normally!!! I think she might be alright!
