Margo is in Trouble

[micstrachan]

I disturbed her nap to feel her crop, and a few of the girls just came back into the run, so she’s a little perkier right now.

Maybe not quite empty, but close.

Weight?

Gums test! That’s great. Just warmed water or with something in it? I have nutridrench, rooster booster, and save a chick electrolytes.

She feels like she’s lost some. Hang on...

I usually use Pedialyte, but I guess you could use save a chick.

@micstrachan, what I usually have people do is a dry run, and what I mean by that is get your hen, tube and syringe and practice inserting the tube.

get yourself a permanent marker, insert tube all the way into crop, mark tube at beak so you will know how far to insert.

Which videos have you seen?

221 grams per kitchen scale. And got a better feel of her crop... it’s not empty.

I think you need to weigh her again because 221 grams is only 8 ounces.

I think I’ve seen all the videos you’ve posted on goteamtubefeeding.
