    URGENT hen with potential water belly not eating or drinking

    I gave her a calcium and tums, and gave her some water after that. There’s more of the yellow liquid today but there is some solid poop in it. She’s doing this thing we’re shell puff out her tail and her wings and put heat head on the ground. Is this because she uncomfortable?

    I’ve decided I’m going to drain her and depending on how she reacts to that is how I’ll move forward. If she gets any worse I’ll probably cull her because I don’t want her to suffer and at this point any worse she’ll be having a life that is not worth living.

    She’s not eating so I squirted some chicken food mashed with a lot of water into her beak and she ate some of that. There’s yellow fluid on her towel that I assume she pooped out. Shes having a really hard time standing on her feet, every time she tries to stand or move her feet go back and her...

    It is like that, I’ve wondered about water belly, it was my first thought but apparently it’s not common in bantams and she is so I haven’t tried to suck any fluid out of her yet I’ve been focusing on getting her eating because she’s emancipated. I’ve also had a hen with water belly once, but...

    I offered her some fresh scrambled egg and some watermelon. She showed mild interest in the watermelon so I left the food with her. I got some fluids in her, she still won’t drink over own but she let me put water in her beak and swallows. She pooped once last night I have a picture of her...

    I’ve been offering the mashed chicken feed but she still won’t eat any, I haven’t tubed any liquids into her yet but if I do I will be very catious. And I haven’t had any issues tubing in the past but I also haven’t had much experience. If her digestive system is backing up is there something I...

    I couldn’t feel her crop at all until she ate the egg and it felt really squishy. The last time she pooped is before I separated her, and it was liquidy and green, she hasn’t pooped since. She won’t drink on her own but she sip water that I squirt by her beak with a syringe, and I haven’t gotten...

    Should the bloating be getting better by now because she’s still very bloated and can’t walk. I’m going to tube feed her tommorow because she’s less stressed now so I don’t think it’ll shock her but she’s also not eating. What could the bloating be caused by?
