    Thank you, I may consider doing my own necropsy in the future but I still haven’t culled a chicken my self before so I don’t know if I could handle it. All this information and kind words were greatly appreciated.

    No, I will not. I don’t have a place to send the body, and we already buried her. I also don’t have any money for a necropsy if they cost any.

    Pepper (the hen) passed last night. Thank you for all your advice and knowledge that I’ll be able to use on future sick chickens.

    Update she’s stopped heaving for now and I won’t have resources to humainly cull her until morning, so I guess I’ll see how she is then

    I went in the check on her and picked her up to see if she pooped, it seemed to trigger something and tons of yellow liquid is coming out of her beak and there’s some at her nose. She finally stopped but now she’s dry heaving and gurgling. Is there anything I can do or should I cull her now? She...

    I just drained 60cc of liquid form her abdomen with an 18 gauge needle. She didn’t flinch when we drained her, the liquid had a pretty strong yellow tint, I forgot to get a picture of it after draining. She doesn’t seems to be in any sort of shock. The bloating hasn’t seemed to go down much though.

    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?

    Ok I’ll continue giving her calcium, I’m going to drain her tomorrow, and see how it goes.
