[chickens really]

Not labored breathing- no decreased appetite- drinks like normal

Then do nothing. It doesn't need help if it's okay. Add a bit of Grit and feed them some lettuce chopped up with Grit sprinkles.

How does this area feel?

Husband says doesn’t feel like shaving but could be a pellet. Said duck is drinking but seems like it’s trying to get the pellet down. Going to try the drip of oil- anyone have any other ideas? I crushed the pellets with a hammer but of course he found one uncrushed.

Your feeding pellets ? A coffee grinder or wet the feed first..

I accidentally bought pellets but am buying crumble today. So I thought smashing it all up to a crumble with a hammer would work.

Do you have a bowl of water it can play in that's deep enough to dunk its head and dissolve the pellet?
