- Chicken help, again unfortunatelyHello, Unfortunately I am back again. My chicken has been through 2 rounds of medicine (erythromycin and another which I don’t know the name of but a farm owner gave us), nothing has helped this resolve. I have tried applying pressure to remove the puss but nothing comes out. I have called all the vets in my area and the surrounding cities, and no one takes chickens. They won’t even do a phone consultation. What do I do now? She was eating and drinking okay, but now her mouth is being forced open by the swelling so it’s getting more difficult for her to eat. I can’t even stomach the thought of culling I have gotten too attached to her. Any advice? Thank you submitted by /u/Fun_Property2846 [link] [comments]
- Please help?My favorite hen peachy isn't feeling good. Her tail is bobbing and she's a bit lethargic. I examined her a bit and her crop is small and hard, she also started struggling to breath when I picked her up and tried to get away (this is the most cuddly chicken I've ever had she ADORES being held) I put her in the garage with water and the Internet told me not to give her solid food for 12-24 hours so I crushed up a boiled egg (without the shell) and gave that to her. I saw someone say online to feed a chicken with a bad crop some olive oil and massage the crop so I might try that tomorrow. I'm very worried about her she's one of my best friends honestly, she was the first chicken to ever run to me for cuddles instead of me having to chase or pick them up lol. submitted by /u/AdEnvironmental4177 [link] [comments]
