How much water per day syringe

[Tinabuglaw]

You just started tubing enough water and feed two days ago?

What does poop look like today?

It's soft but greenish brown. She's pooping a lot.

I think 3 days ago I started. I had been syringe feeding and watering prior to. So yeah, I'm definitely getting at more into her now.

Great news!

Just a tip - when weighing your bird, weigh them first thing every morning on an empty crop. That way you're getting a true weight without fluctuations.

So proud of you for conquering tube feeding!! I'm sure your sweet hen will thank you, too.

3.97lbs!

I went through this (back in February) with one of my 4 year old hens. I tube fed her for 4 weeks, and she recovered, and went back to eating on her own, and back to her normal weight. Still don't know what the issue was.
