Help! My first chicken illness...

And glad to hear about your girl!

She passing any poo at all? She could be blocked somewhere else in her digestive tract. I haven't had to do it but molasses can be used to flush them and I believe Epsom salt. I would do a search and check that here in forums. casportpony and eggcessive, ten chicks I hope put in a word. They are much more experienced. I wish I could see her in person to give more ideas or moral support. Hope she gets better soon.

She's been in the house since this morning...no poop at all. I've still been administering small amounts of clear fluid with some electrolytes in an eye dropper every 30-60 minutes. When I pick her up she opens her eyes for a short while, but the majority of the time they are closed. I have massaged her crop each time I give fluids and have also felt her belly area for any abnormalities and don't feel anything that would indicate an issue. I'll search for flushing techniques in the morning and try to rest my worried mind tonight...
