Thank you for this wonderful advice I’ll bear it in mind.If you have photos of the poop and of your hen you would like to share that would be great.
It sounds like you are on top of things. I would omit the nutri drops while you are treating for Coccidiosis. I'm assuming you have Harkers Coxiod? (amprolium)
De-worming is also a good idea as well. Do what you can to keep her hydrated and eating.
I would still monitor the crop very closely since you mentioned she is stretching her neck out - even if the crop seems to be empty she could have a blockage further down. I would give her wet chicken feed and avoid anything "hard" to digest at this time (corn/scratch grains). For a nice treat offer her hard boiled or scrambled egg.
Keep us posted on how she's doing.
I'm so sorry!Thank you for this wonderful advice I’ll bear it in mind.
Unforutnantly Emily just passed away in my arms. I had just given her some nutridrops in hopes she would perk up over the next few days and then treat her with Harkers. I also had some vermX pellets ready for intestinal health.
She took the nutridrops but she gurgled. I panicked and massages her crop worrying something was causing a blockage and actually tipped her so she was beak down whilst I did this hoping something would come up but nothing did.
She closed her eyes and came to lay in my lap. As I picked her up to place her in a comfy crate to bring her indoors she had what I’ll call a fit, but I know in reality it was her dying.
Very sad day as I hatched her myself, she’s always been special to me.
Thanks for your help.
