Yep, because if they change the rules, they can claim that it's all your fault and we don't have to pay you. Kinda like the kid who hogs the game, gets upset cuz he ain't winning, and packs up his ditty bag and goes home.

I will attempt the crop tube. I do have all the stuff to do it, just not sure that one of my kids can hold the bird well enough to allow me to insert the tube. Dh is usually rushing out the door & prob can't help me in the am. Could try to wake him, but he is usually a pretty grumpy bear if he gets woken!


How much should I try to insert in the crop?

I would try to get about 30-35cc down her. It shouldn't fill the crop too much yet be enough to get things moving.

As far as holding the bird goes you can wrap a towell around her to contain the wings and then just tuck her under your arm.

Tried wrapping her in a towel but couldnt get the tube down, since her neck is so crooked. So being the loving wife that I am, and not wanting to drag dh out of bed, I brought the bird inside wrapped in a towel. Handed her to dh-- while he was still half asleep laying in bed. He held her in a towel like a baby while he held her neck straight. Tube went down with no problem. Gave her 35cc of molasses thinned with water. Took her back out to the chicken shed & put her in the cage. Will see how she fills in the am. Thanks for the advise. Nothing can hurt at this point!
