This afternoon when I had gone to shut my chickens in for the night, I noticed that one of my silkies was walking oddly. I brought her inside and she could no longer support herself and keeps flopping on to her side. We checked her crop and that was very large. We looked online and saw that olive oil could help with a large crop so we gave her that massaged it as well. It luckily went away after a bit but she is still unable to support herself, her left leg when you pick her up is now kicking about like she's trying to get up. Furthermore, due to her unblanace when she moves, she sometimes face plants as if she doesn't have much control over her neck. She is able to poo, it started off as normal poo but is now very liquids. We have tried to give her mealworms which are her favourite but at the moment she is turning them down. We have rung her vets but they can't do anything as they are out of hours and it's £250 just for them to see her. We obviously don't want to have to go there so any advice is welcome on what to do.
