My hen has successfully gotten over sour crop, and now is rejecting all food, except for trying to get to grass outside of the run. I think that grass is what caused this is the first place.
I have fed her crumbles for a long, long time - most of her life -- because at some point all the hens rejected pellets. Now she pecks at the crumbles and acts like she can't pick them up, or see them, or something. Her beak is fine.
Should I put her on pellets? She is clearly starving, won't eat any of the mashes, oil/bread, egg yolk, yogurt, that have been recommended. I even put some of her favorite bread out there and she is ignoring that.
All she wants is grass.
She is also rejecting the vitamin water. She was drinking the ACV water, so I'll return to that.
At wits end and don't want her to starve to death or re-impact with grass.
Any suggestions?
