Turkey hen with bloated crop; not eating much; lethargic

[Anonymous Chicken]

And she almost always has her eyes closed now.

Have you fed her coconut oil, & massaged her crop incase there's a blockage?

Don't make her vomit though.

Thank you @MysteryChicken! We didn't try that yet.

We live VERY close to you!

How much do you think I should feed her? It's going to be a challenge getting it into her mouth...

You're welcome.

Really? Are you guys wanting any chicks? Just thought I'd ask since you mentioned you live close.

Hardened Chunks of coconut oil. A whole lot of it since she's a Turkey. I can't give an exact measurement.

All it does is slicken the insides to get things moving.

We would love more chicks, but we have limited space right now and are at our max. We hope to expand our coop soon, though, so maybe next year! Out of curiosity, what kind of chicks do you have?

One pure OEGB pullet, & some mixes. There's a total of seven.

Maybe ¼ cup of coconut oil may get things moving. Definitely more then you'd give to a chicken.
