Can I give my chicken protein shake?

[kris1990]

Yesterday one of our chicken got attacked from something and half of the back of her neck is missing. We tried to give her some water but the water went out from her throat. She tried eating too but the food went out from the back of her throat. We stich her but we are scared to give her regular food untill her throat doesnt close. Can we give her protein shake to keep her stable?

I would not give her that. It's formulated for humans and could be dangerous to her.

I know you don't want to hear this, but if she cannot eat or drink, the most humane thing may be to put her to sleep.

She can drink and eat but we don't want to give her hard food untill her throat closes up a little

Can you put her regular food in a food processor with water and make her a chicken shake that way?

Mash egg yolks with water. When yolks are softened with water they can be tube fed.

Good luck and keep us posted!
