Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

thanks! If I don't see her drink tomorrow, I'm gonna get some water with sav-a-chik in it into her, one way or another. If I can't, I'm gonna pen her up in my dad's shop and make her drink

WOW.....you will never get the door closed on that carton. Will they all be that big?

yeah. She's gotten a little friendlier since I've been handling her so much, but she may hate me after tomorrow. We'll see.

If Roger goes broody I might have to get a dozen of those goose eggs from you.

The sav-a-chik might perk her up a bit so that she will want to eat and drink a bit more. Did the olive oil help? Is she still yawning? You do have to be a bit careful forcing them to drink, they can inhale the liquids and then you are risking a whole other problem. Try just a bit at a time and allow her to close her mouth so that she can swallow it or it may go down the wrong way. A few drops up by the corner of her mouth usually works. Sometimes just using a drop of water on your finger and touching along the side of the mouth will get to drink reflexively. (And sometimes they shake their heads really hard and the water gets in your eye

which hurts if it has vinegar in it.)

Also, a good treat that might interest her is scrambled or hard boiled egg. Easy to digest and good calories for her.

Did Dawg say anything about antibiotics?

Keep trying and I'll keep my fingers crossed.
