Nothing helped her, but she is still alive! every so often she gets a stool softener and locked up, that helps her and her friend chicken nugget. She is still wearing her bra. All these ameraucanas have an issue with their crop except one. I think it’s a breeding issue.
She is so annoyed…. I want to do home surgery on her…..her back end is getting pretty messy too, I can hear her breathing. I almost want to try an anti biotic to be honest to clear an infection and then treat sour crop. I wasn’t consistent with seven days tbh I was good for 4 days, starting over.
I have brooders that are installed in my coop. But I’ll do that, I’ll keep here here to be more controlled for a while at least 7 days while I treat for yeast and let her out when I get back from work to socialize and I’ll work on supporting her crop hopefully it comes sooner than the 7th I’m...
Yes! That’s what I started today, how long should I cage her she is not at all happy! Her crop bra won’t arrive till Feb 7th :( I feel so bad I’m just now taking action for this poor baby, I just been so cought up in my other chicken drama!
How long does she wear the crop bra?
When I move her crop around i here it bubble inside and it seems hard for her to breath. I’ll order her a bra…I’m not crafty like that at all unfortunately… I have been feeding her egg and watering down the chicken feed she gets keeping it simple
It’s staying the same so I started treatment for sour crop and I also wormed her…. I did have round worms so I’ll do a five day treatment on her just in case. This summer I’m telling you…I got the most amazing chicken coop spent a lot of money on it. But I feel like there’s a trade off coop...
It’s really squishy, but ok I’m going to do a few days with the stool sofner I been massaging it every few hours and if that doesn’t work then I’ll switch to the sour crop treatment. I got this! And if that doesn’t work I’ll get her a bra!
How often can I actually give these stool softeners to this bird? It was 60% smaller this morning but then ballooned up as soon as she ate. I’m treating for sour crop today. But can I give these stool softeners for a few days?
yes on the stool softener part now…the one who has impacted crop had a bad crop at birth so I’m not surprised. The one who has the massive crop…she might die…I’ll treat for yeast for seven days starting tomorrow I won’t give up on her!
Thank you soooooo much for your help you made me a little...
So I just with held food for 24 hours and it’s still a huge balloon. If I try to drain only alittle will come out. I just gave her some water with apple cider in it. It’s as big as my hand and like a balloon. What shall I do?
Sometimes I think not they are still squishy and balloon like. I have laid out a ton of grit for them. It’s only the amaraucanas though. They are less than a year old. Hatched in may
