How to feed chicken after crop surgery?

[henny_pennyxk]

Hi everyone,
One of my girls, Dumpling had crop surgery yesterday and the vet gave us some emeraid and the exact amount to give her however, dumpling is a particularly difficult chicken to syringe her medicines to anyway, let alone 5ml-20ml of liquid food. She also doesn’t like the taste of it so letting her to drink it is not really an option so I managed to give her ab out 1ml out of the 5ml she was supposed to have today as most of it went on the floor; I just squeezed the rest of it into her water and hoped for the best so does anyone have any tips on how to help her take her food? I’m also really worried about her eating because we were instructed to give her nothing solid until day four but today she was feeling much better so we took her out to the coop and removed their food but they have a straw bale that sheds a-lot in there and she’s obviously feeling really hungry so she’s started eating bits of straw as well as any scrap treats on the floor and I’m worried this might overwhelm her crop but she’s feeling so much more energetic I can’t just leave her in her crate. This is really stressing me out so any help would be greatly appreciated
