Yeah, I think there was something wrong with her reproductive track. I tried all kinds of calcium supplements, deworming, crop massage, calcitrate, liquid calcium, higher calcium feed, etc... after months of trying to firm up her eggs, nothing worked. I think either one broke inside her, or she...

I'm so very sorry for your loss shadow. I also lost one of mine. not the one who was sick though. I've had a girl laying soft shelled to no shelled eggs since January when she started laying. I tried everything to get her to lay hard eggs. nothing worked. well she passed away last Friday...

She seems to be doing ok. Her poo is getting bigger, almost back to normal size. today her crop wasn't full at night, but it wasn't empty either. The last few days I also saw her eating the greens I brought out. So, I'll just keep an eye on her for now. Acting fine, eating and such...

Well, her poo was bigger last night, her crop isn't full, but she is eating. I give oyster shell free choice in the henhouse and in the run, but she isn't laying right now so I don't think that is it. I wonder if the other's are keeping her from the food. I had moved one of the feeders more...

This is great news! glad she is doing better. I'm still nursing my one, she seems like yours, always something. her poo is now very small and her crop is not full at night. but it is empty in the morning. she seems not to be eating much, not sure why. I'm just keeping an eye on her for now...

Did you get her to the vet? If so, what did they say?

If you have a knowledgeable vet, that is awsome! I did take mother to the vet and she didn't know what was wrong with her. $101 later "bring her back in tomorrow she may be egg bound, we will do an X-ray" Well, she wasn't egg bound... They did test her poo for worms and such, nothing wrong...

I'm no expert, there are different ways to treat it I think, but I followed the advice on this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/630307/sour-crop-cured-with-monistat I also gave her probiotics mixed in with oatmeal. I used this...

I had a hen with a sour crop and when I pushed on it to feel it to see if it was squishy, water came out. Is it possible she has a sour crop? Mine also had watery stool with chunks of food in it... No blood though. She was lethargic and didn't want to eat much. she did eat meal worms and some...
