How are you scalding them when they're that big? I got a turkey stuck in a bucket 2 years ago. It was a heritage breed so no where near as big as yours.

You can still eat her eggs unless she's on medicine. High calorie foods - meal worms, eggs, black oil sunflower seeds, suet (do not use long term), cracked corn, or buy a bag of high protein kibble (18-27%).

I had switched them to all flock crumble that is 20% a couple weeks ago. Actually still mixing it with the last of their dumor layer crumble. Where they had a mini molt and some lost their fluffy butt feathers.I will get her some meal worms today. What type of suet should I get? Still hasn't laid her egg today. Could be where she is in a box instead the coop maybe...

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Suet is just fat. I feed it very rarely/occasionally. They tend to like the ones with seeds in it. Don't feed her the whole thing maybe just a dime size amount. You should be fine without it if she's eating eggs and higv protein crumble

Sorry for all the questions and blowing up the thread. Lol

 

[superchemicalgirl]

No need to apologize, that's what we're here for.

This thread gets pretty dead if no one is posting!

She's still wheezing and gurgling sounding. Should I try her on antibiotics? Her nose isn't running and her eyes are clear.

I'm not a chicken gal, but this sounds a bit like same thing

And I've heard of tylan 50 being used.... But I have zero personal knowledge

 

[diana507]

I started her on Tylan 50 orally. See how she does.
