Re: [CHICKENS-101] Sick Chicken

 

Thank you.  Sadly she did not make it through the night.  We brought her in and made up a meal similar to what you have suggested here although she did eat some it was just too little too late.  She did pass in the warmth and comfort of our home.  We will miss her.

What if you believe in reincarnation, so, when you die, instead of RIP on your gravestone it says BRB?

if she is compromised you may need to hand feed her to help her immediately, Catherine had shared one of her recipes before, of using chicken food and moisten with a bit of yoghurt or was it egg yolk?, I have tried with egg yolk and it has worked well, just enough to be able to make pretty solid clumps, I have shaped them into longer bean shaped pieces and then just open the beak and place it down their esophagus if they can't eat. Or tube feed her with a tube and syringe directly down into the crop.
