Hi everyone! Please help me out with my little Easter Egger, Superwoman! She is squatting with ruffled feathers but open, alert eyes. Not eating much at all.
So, yesterday I wrote thinking my chicken had an impacted crop issue. But it didn't really make sense because I wasn't feeling anything round like a crop, instead it felt really bony. Well... I now think I was feeling her neck bone. Oops. She was so emaciated that I couldn't even find her crop where I was expecting it. When I did find it, it was basically empty.
Now I have NO idea what her issue is. I had been feeding her some olive oil with a dropper for what I thought was crop issues. I rush ordered Corid in case it was coccidiosis. I've been feeding her garlic water with a dropper in case of worms and to keep her hydrated.
What are next steps I should take? Also, is there a way to make sure that she is still getting nutrition. Like, should I be feeding her scrambled eggs or oatmeal and feeding her that?
