I am trying to address a potential crop issue with my bantam rooster, who has been swallowing, reaching, and shaking his head in discomfort for months now (video below). Based on what I have read, flushing his crop with water seems like a natural and somewhat gentle solution to try to resolve this issue for him. However, I can't find anything very clear regarding the following questions:
1. How to actually get the fluid down his throat, without choking him
2. How much water
3. What to do following water dosage administration (crop massage, withhold food for 24 hours, turn him upside down?)
Here is a video of constant attempts at crop adjusting:
He is otherwise healthy, poops, eats, just this swallowing issue.
