Contained in run and coop. No free ranging. She is less than a year old. Just started laying in July. Feed is organic layer pellets. I thought the problem was the long grass that the kids were feeding her. But with the way it feels now it's more like a really hard quarter sized pellet. Which is good after the baseball it was. I gave her coconut oil chunks (2 tsp) and a massage earlier today. Then tonight mashed scrambled egg with 2 tsp c.oil. and some water mixed in to give her some hydration. And another massage. Feels less hard. She was also drinking a lot before bed so that's encouraging. I read somewhere that if she's had too much sand it may compact and harden. The run is dirt with hay over top. And partial sand with hay on top. I just bought some granite grit and crushed oyster shell to put in the run tomorrow in wall containers. I thought the sand would be enough from what I had read but maybe not?
Thank you. I ended up mixing with a tiny bit of water and giving it in a syringe. Tried mixing it with chick starter mash first. Was not a fan. Lol
Sounds good!
I'm happy to hear she's doing well! Thank you for the update
Thank you so much! I will definitely try it!
Did you read the recommended article in your other thread. Very good info from Carol...she wrote the article. I've used it several times to treat my bird with success...May want to re-read it.
