HELP CHICKEN COMB IS TURNING PURPLE!!!

[chrissynemetz]

How is your hen this evening? Any better?

 

[HeatherlovesherBirds]

No..I gave her a dulcolax and coconut oil. Massaged it several times..still... nothing. Her comb is purple which leads me to believe her crop is cutting her wind pipe off. The purple goes away when I massage her crop.. beginning to think she is not going to make it... thank you for asking..

I'm sorry to hear she is not improving.
She may have a blockage and the crop is unable to empty. Is she pooping at all?

 

[chrissynemetz]

I'm so sorry we're all pulling for you. Let us know how she does

 

[HeatherlovesherBirds]

Yes..it is mainly white very loose...she is breathing like her air way is closing off...she is a sweet little hen and I am going to give her another tab in morning... hopefully she will get better..my husband will put her down soon he hates to have them suffer he will let me try so if i don't get anywhere tomorrow it's going to be sad for my kids and I. To top it off I have another weasel....I can't win for losing... Losing to many lately :'(

I am not in favor of making a hen vomit. Do you think that she could have eaten something that has caused her problems? Has she eaten egg shells? Azygous has good advice for crop issues:

Will eating egg shells cause problems? I always smash up mine and give them back to my chickens.
