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...

I have a chicken curse and I want to give up I’m so frustrated!!

Yes :(

Here’s her massive empty crop compared to my other normal bird

It’s looking alittle greenish and sticking to her feathers, not even a year old. Do you think sour crop? It’s just hard to believe at such a young age

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?

Honestly I had a year from hell and things are just mellowing out so it just spiked my fears. But your right she’s probably fine.

For reference it fits inside my whole hand. Is this something I can put a needle in?

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

A few of my ameraucanas have big balloon crops. No liquid comes out so I don’t think sour crop. Is this just a breed specific issue possibly?
