Recovering from impacted crop surgery - what would you do? UPDATE

Are you giving her access to grit?

How is your hen?

She's doing ok. She got a little bit of an appetite back after I started the baytril. She's at least pecking at crumbles. She still has no interest in mealworms (or much else) which worries me. I've never given the girls grit. I thought the layer crumbles and pellets provided everything they needed. In the coop there is a sand box for them to get in and the floor is just dirt. I put the hen out today cause the vet thought she might eat if she saw the other girls eating, not because she was hungry but because she doesn't like to share. She seemed to do well outside, but I only left her out for about 3.5 hrs. I'm going to put her out again tomorrow. She still needs to eat and drink more. Hopefully she won't fall back under the weather in 2 days when I'm finished with the antibiotics. If she does I don't think there is much else I can do for her. She's been in the house for almost a month now.
