When did you last deworm?

How old is she and when did she last lay an egg?

she is still moving her neck weird and she just threw up some clear liquid after I tried to massage her crop. I gave her some olive oil and she is still drinking water but she also still isn't eating.

Does her breath smell sour?

her breath does smell a bit sour I think

her crop is empty though so I don’t know what I can do to help her

Try giving her some vitamins/electrolytes.

Can she walk? If she can walk, how does she walk?

How long has the hen been sitting with her legs in front like that?

Did the liquid smell bad? Like sour chicken food?

I would suggest cleaning her up everytime she throws up. I had a hen who had sour crop for a long time, and everytime I induced vomiting on her I cleaned her beak and her nose, even if nothing was there. I also put some VetRX around her nose to help with her breathing if she does have anything in her nose from vomiting. You also need to take breaks. So, make her vomit a little and then put her back to normal and let her breathe for a minute or so, and then rinse and repeat.


Long story short:
- Keep her nose and mouth clean
-Put VetRX around nostrils so she can breathe better
-Take breaks while inducing vomiting

Don't be sorry about asking questions! I am thinking that if she is only drinking water and not eating anything, that is why she is puking up water. It can also be a sign of worms. Have you dewormed her recently?

Of course! Also, that is an adorable name!!

Have you dewormed Ms. Penny lately? Sometimes vomiting up clear liquid can be a sign of worms. It could also be caused by her only drinking water and not eating.

I just bought dewormer and I will give it to her when it gets here but she has not been dewormed before. Is it ok to feed her and give her water?
