Very sick chicken who’s lost weight, has a crop the size of a softball, and has thrown-up. Help!

Is she drinking plenty of water?

Is she drinking plenty of water?

She won’t on her own, but I am giving her 5 mL every hour using a needle less syringe. Should I be giving her more?

In post 15 of this thread below, it says to give at least 115 ml per day for a 5 pound chicken:

You can tube feed if you are interested in learning. They sell syringes and feeding tubes on Amazon.

For fluids only aquarium air tubing or oxygen tubing can be used with a feed store 35 ml syringe. She will need some food, very watery as time goes on. I am not an expert on crop issues, as @azygous is.

Ok, thank you for the help! I will start giving her either 10 mL every hour or 5 mL every half hour. I will look into the tube feeding as well! Thanks for linking the articles!

Thank you everyone for you help! While her crop was doing better, she was so weak that she died this morning after I had given her water. Thanks again for all our help!
