Last week my alpha hen died of what seemed like sour crop. No treatment helped, she was in steady decline and died. Now a related hen, much lower rank, is showing similar symptoms, lethargy, not eating, dehydrated, odd light coloured slimy poop, but her crop seems fine and her belly is tight...
Nice to find this site. I got 3 Boschveld pullets and hubby built a nice ark and fenced off a bit of the garden to keep them safe from the Jack Russell. Looking forward to some eggs soon!
