How to Heal a Dying Chicken in 5 Minutes (Norwegian Farmer's Method)

A hen stands apart from the flock with her tail down and her comb gone pale, and you have no vet who will see a chicken. What you do in the first five minutes decides most of it. In this video I show you the order it has to be done in, why almost everyone gets that order backwards, and the one thing my grandfather did that costs nothing at all. You will learn how to read a crop in 60 seconds, how to mix hydration from your own kitchen, and when to stop. Tell me in the comments where you keep your hens. Disclaimer: This video is for informational purposes only. The methods shown are traditional smallholder practice and general poultry husbandry, not veterinary advice. If a bird is seriously unwell, or does not improve, contact a veterinarian or your state poultry extension service. #BackyardChickens #ChickenKeeping #Homesteading #SickChicken #ChickenHealth #OldFarmMethods #Smallholding #NorwegianFarm Research links Egg yolk peritonitis in backyard chickens, VCA — backs the villain section Homemade electrolytes for chickens, Fresh Eggs Daily — backs the Method 3 mix Hypothermia in chickens, PoultryDVM — backs the 105 to 107 degrees and the gradual-rewarming catch in Method 1
