He lost the battle today...died this morning. He fought so hard. He didn't have the strength to stand when I went into his room this morning. He tried to come to me anyway. I held him for 3 hours and he just wanted hugs as he passed. He was such a good boy...I didn't even raise him. He helped me...

My rooster's improvement with moving around and such seems to have plateaued for the moment. Still quite wobbly like yesterday. Might not be able to take him outdoors today due to ugly weather. Overnight I think he pooped a greater volume of stuff than 3 of my hens combined. He is slowly going...

Unfortunately I do think I've seen the worst end of the green spectrum - the hen I lost earlier in the year to sour crop and cancer had that and it was GREEN green, like 7up bottle green. Very unnatural looking. There was also no solids in it for that bird, basically just green and white...

I can tell he's improved since a couple days ago at least; I've been taking him outside to get get fresh air for 10min or so each day. Normally he just stands and does nothing. Today the first thing he did was wobble-charge off to go kill a small snake. He was really mad that my husband took it...

The liquid component of my rooster's droppings got more abundant and also suddenly turned reddish brown yesterday afternoon. That seemed like it could be evidence of intestinal bleeding with the color possibly darkened by blueberries, which are causing most of his poop to be blue/green anyway...

Well, he made it through another night. Crop emptied. Still seems a bit inflamed compared to what my largest hens feel like. He had a breakfast this morning of chopped grapes, blueberries, and raspberries, and some sweet corn. A few bites of scrambled egg. I'll try to get him to eat more egg as...

I realize this has just become me talking to myself but I figure I may as well document it... My rooster won't eat feed mash anymore. However, he will readily eat: blueberries, raspberries, very soft well-cooked corn, very mushy oatmeal, and a small bit of banana. Since he was going downhill...

Yesterday he passed the impaction material I think. Plant and feather bits over the course of the day. Crop is emptying but his lethargy is worse and he's slowly losing interest in food now. No smell from his breath still. I don't know what else to do or what could be wrong...I feel like I'm...

I can't entirely tell if I'm making progress or just heading into sour crop...but I hope it's progress. His crop empties noticeably now although it needs frequent massage to do so. Currently feels like a very thick-walled but not very full bag. Like it should be tightening up more but isn't...

My rooster started to get too lethargic for me to be comfortable with fasting him for the rest of the day like many instructions on dealing with impacted crop say to do. I gave him mashed peeled grapes and he perked up a bit. Then he got some more coconut oil and I tried being bit tougher with...

He is more interested in sitting with me than with hens so I'm going to keep him in the house for now. He is ravenously hungry, but I can feel a fibrous ball in his crop that isn't going down so I haven't fed him anything since early morning. He's had some more coconut oil just a bit ago. Is...

I have a roughly 1.5yr old barred rock rooster. I think his crop is moving things through since he's pooping, but it seems much slower than it should be since it wasn't emptied all the way last night - which is the only reason I know there's something up with his crop vs other stress issues. He...
