She had been dealing with it for sometime, her crop backed up and smelled awful so I just assumed it was an impacted crop, which it was. I now know why it was impacted and sour. She ate well and drank well up until the day before she died, once she stopped eating she was gone pretty quick. I...

Thanks so much for your detailed reply, makes feel a little better, she was not looking too good for a long time, she never did molt, so I thought she was trying to. She ate and drank very well up until the day before she died. Just hope this was viral and not bacterial, all the rest of them...

I had what I thought was sour crop in a hen, after about 10 days in the house with yeast treatment, probiotics, and massages the nasty foul smell combined with gurgling subsided. Never stopped eating and drinking and crop was emptying. Was about ready to add her back to the flock when I felt a...

No, my neighbor down the street LOL She has a bout three with huge combs, this is the biggest, I was shocked!

Ok so here is an update on the Buff Brahma, I had so many mixed answers! I am not even gonna say what I think.. lol
