Sick Campine hen!

Date sort Score sort
I just treated the main flock with 3 tsp. in a 2 gallon waterer. Although they have access to rain water (puddles) but they are inside now! I hope they all drink it! For the sick hen! I don't quite understand what I should do to treat her separately since I don't have another gallon waterer for easy measurement! She seems weaker today and has eaten a little bit but not much! I don't think she drank a lot of water. Her poop is small and sort of green! I fed her romaine lettuce which she are but it exceptionally dark! There is a bit of urates so maybe she drank some water!! I'll try to get some pictures of her, up soon! She can walk although she doesn't seem to want to move a lot!
 
What size waterer do you have for her? Corid is very safe, so just use 1/2 teaspoon per quart. Does that make it easier for you?

Actually that helps a ton! Because it's a quart waterer! Haha I'll go do that this second! I'm worried she won't drink, should I watch her? Also, should I give her some scrambled eggs maybe? Would that necessarily help?
 
In addition to her medicated water, you can mix 1/2 teaspoon Corid with two teaspoons of water, stir well and give 0.4 ml per pound orally to her. If she'll eat the eats, sure, give them to her.

Quick update she eats the layers mash but hasn't touched the medicated water! She is eating little and slow!
 
Go to Petsmart or Petco and get some aquarium air line and some Kaytee Baby Bird Food, then go to Tractor Supply and get a 60ml syringe that the tube will fit on. There are two types to look at, catheter tip and lure slip, just get the one that the tube will slide onto.

If you decide to try it on your own, give warmed fluids first at 15ml per pound, then repeat in 60-90 minutes, and possibly one more time before you tube food. I am available by phone to here if you want me to walk you through it.
