How do I humanly kill my sick hen

[mebuff daisy]

One of my buff orps cannot walk and is having trouble breathing.I want to put her out of her suffering but I cannot chop off her head
Just thinking about it make me want to bawl

I cannot do this to my beloved pet and I cant afford a vet, What do I do about her?

Well,I think I know whats wrong with her.My chickens couldn't breath its called respiratory problems.I would try getting a vet as soon as possible.Well I would just shoot her.Nothing else I can think of,sorry!I hope she will survive!

Is this the hen that sounded like she might have egg yolk peritonitis recently? Maybe someone you know--a family memeber or neighbor who hunts could put her down for you. She may be suffering in a lot of pain. None of us likes to put an animal down, but if we own chickens, occasionally we have to step up and do it or arrange for it to be done.

Also she may have a egg stuck in her.

Here is the thread where I gave you several links to read about it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/897055/sick-hen#post_13695873 Did you check them out to see if that was her problem? There is not much that can be done about EYP besides treating with Penicillin and keeping them comfortable.
