How much fluid can I give?

[casportpony]

Water should always be given by weight. How much does she weigh?

A chicken's crop can hold 5% of its body weight. That would be the maximum to give, but one should start with 2-3% and gradually increase.

5% of one pound = ~23 ml
3% of one pound = ~14 ml
2% of one pound = ~9 ml

About 40ml for a medium sized bird then.

@aart, maybe you know about this, too?

I don't, I'm sorry.
