Who can say? If her ailment, whatever it is, just needs a little food and energy to get over, it will. I have had to tube feed birds that just suddenly seemed to forget how to eat and they bounced back, and just recently I tried to nurse an old hen back to health by tube feeding to no avail, as she had some kind of gizzard cancer and there was no saving her.I honestly dont know what to do... i have to fly somewhere from thursday to Sunday night and wont be home at all.
If i can do it tomorrow once and thursday twice would that be good?
i am panicking right now because I really cant kill her and I don’t want to be the reason she dies
with all of her symptoms is tube feeding going to work though
The point is, it wouldn't hurt to try! Do you live alone? Tube feeding a chicken isn't difficult, even an older child can do it if you show them how. I have been tube feeding even tiny birds since I was 12.
