    How to give a chicken liquid medicine

    I have used this method lots, however it’s happened that some got in the airway. The bird made sneezing noised and breathed beak slightly open for a few seconds then went about her business. Does that mean the meds that went down the wrong pipe were expelled or went into her lungs?

    Possible blockage: not eating, pooping urates

    Edit: I think she may have a soft shell still inside of her. She passed what looks to be 1/2 of the double egg on 2/16 (both photos below) Usually she perks up afterwards, but she kept behaving like she still needed to lay. How can I try to remove it?
