Vomiting chicken

[Wyorp Rock]

Is there a way to look inside her beak for obstruction?

I think you are doing what you can. I'd hold a cup of water up to her beak and see if she will drink on her own. If she's not drinking well, then she's going to get dehydrated.

Nothing in her beak unfortunately. I can get her to take water from a dropper against her beak but not much. She is clicking her beak too. New thing. She ate one bite of wet mash. She has her wings out slightly and is alert she will walk around if the cage is open.

I'd let her move about if that's possible.
Put a water bowl or brightly color bowl of water raised about chest level for her. See if she will drink from that.
Wet Food is o.k. but if she's not drinking, then hydration first.

I am confused though shouldn't she want to drink with a impacted crop? There is no odor and it is hard. How much water does she need? I don't want her to throw up and drown. Thank you for your time and advice. Skippy is a great girl always helping us in the yard a real personality. I hope this turns around.

Most hens do want to drink if they are having crop problems.

The crop is now hard? Not fluid filled?

It cleared this morning waiting to see if she poops and eats

She pooped !! I still have to force her to drink and eat. Maybe since something is coming out she will feel less full. I am bringing in another chicken for her since hubby left for work.

When you can, get some photos of her and what she's pooping.

Hopefully it will start to clear.

I let her go to the coop tonight since it is cooler to see if she would perk up. She hopped in the nest box and laid an egg. She ate a bit of food and drank her water and jumped up to her spot on the roost. I gave her a dose of medicine which was very much unappreciated. I hope she is able to stay out tomorrow in the run. She loved the air conditioning but missed her family,poor baby.

I hope she does o.k.

Keep us posted.
