Frizzle bantam got moldy feed. Botulism?

[ed33935]

There are 3 flushes that I know of, Epsom Salts, Molasses and Acitvated Charcoal.

I think any of the 3 would be effective for cleaning out the system. Molasses and Epsom Salts flushes are used quite often used when treating a stubborn slow crop, both have a laxative effect.
You will want to make sure she's hydrating well after the flush since basically those 2 will cause loose stools, possibly explosive. (just sayin')

For Molasses, I'd use the dose used treat crop issues, which is 1 teaspoon molasses mixed in 1/4 cup warm water. Have the bird drink all of it.

For Epsom Salts, again, I'd use the crop treatment dose of 1/2 teaspoon Epsom Salts to 1/4 cup of water, syringe it into her or have her drink it.

Larger dosing and write ups are in the links below. The extension article is very good, look under Laxative Solutions.

Since she is so small and seems to be doing o.k. I'd only give the flush once, then see how she's doing. Again, hydrate her afterward, get her drinking and eating her normal feed. A bit of egg is always good to give too. Flushes could flush nutrients as well, so I'd consider giving her poultry vitamins for a couple of days too.

I have a hen with a stubborn slow crop. I did the molasses flush today. How often should this be done?

Usually just once.
