Here's all the angles of that poo I have. Unfortunately it was cleaned up and thrown away yesterday so I can't examine it more. It looks stringy, worm like, but I don't believe it was a worm? The worm I saw before was thinner and white-ish. This one simply looks like a strand of poo?? Is there a...

I just syringe fed her about 1½ml of the molasses solution. I'll feed her more in a bit but she's pretty tired out so I'll give her a break and try again soon.

I actually got the idea from you😂. I'd seen somewhere you said you fed your chickens chilled coconut oil when they had a crop issue. Maisie had once a very full crop so I gave her the coconut oil back then and it worked so well immediately that I had to have some on hand. We have gummy molds...

Yesterday was perfect weather. It was a bit cool and breezy, cloudy too. Didn't get above 80°, which is better than some other days. I think it would be strange to have heat stress yesterday, since it was such a nice day🤷🏼‍♀️

I am attempting to examine the poo, as it is still in the crate. I'm not seeing anything that is a worm, but I have no clue what exactly I'm looking for. How do I tell? The other night, I believe the second or third day of treating, one of our hens (lavender Orpington??) did poo a worm. That's...

This is so good to know. I would have had no idea. Here are the photos^ they are in the spoilers. Thankfully this past week I have been practicing properly syringe feeding the hens! I believe I am able to do it without getting anything in their lungs by feeding it on their right side of the...

I'll see what she wants, but unfortunately I can't get her to eat anything yet. I have her out of the crate and she crawled on my lap and just wants to sleep. I'll keep trying to get some coconut oil and eggs in her and anything some water. I will certainly check more for them. Great idea with...

Yes, she seems fine everywhere I look. She has a very fluffy bum, but I combed around and everything looks normal.

Thank you so so much! I have frozen coconut oil pellets just for times like this. I'll go feed her some. And massage

Thank you so much for the reply. You have no idea how much it helps to have others helping me. She has some scrambled eggs, she won't eat. I'll try to get her to eat some. I'll try to find some B-Complex with E to feed her. Alright. I'll try that!

Thank you so so much!

Update (~12 hours after first noticed symptoms): I'm so glad she made it through the night. She's acting pretty much the same, sleepy, similar stance, even panting a good amount. I checked her crop and I don't think it emptied much at all. I feel the seeds and mealworms still from yesterday, a...

Thank you so so much! 💖 I will definitely check her crop tomorrow and will continue to update as I am able!

We have done a finger check before on a hen that was egg bound in the past. I am hesitant now though because of a post by azygous, whom I trust very much. I'm not afraid of the unpleasantness but rather I am concerned of hurting/stressing her. Thank you for the help though. Thank you! Yes, she...

Thank you so so much! I love her dearly and I'm glad to have all the help! I don't believe we have lice or mites. We've treated not too long ago for them. The chickens have two large runs and haven't free ranged recently. There shouldn't be anything new in the runs. The only thing I can think...
