Chickens can be very confusing sometimes! Mine still lays, so I guess she’s good for now. Today her crop was almost empty besides some rocks, which made me happy. I hope your girl gets through it alright!

We never did the ultrasound and her crop fluctuates, but never really empties overnight. Sometimes it doesn’t empty at all, sometimes it empties almost completely. I am also at a loss as to what to do about her, but she doesn’t act any differently; poops normally, eats and drinks normally. Took...

Update on my bantam! This morning my hen had an almost empty crop, which made me very happy. And almost zero jerking today (once when I gave her a massage and once when she ate). I’ve noticed her poops are very gritty, so maybe things are finally moving along.

Yeah, vet visits for chickens are so pricey when you’ve got like 6 of them. Home remedies can do wonders if you’re persistent, so I wish you best of luck! I’ve had luck clearing two impacted crops in the past, so it is possible :)

Well, now for the past two days her crop is hardly emptying at all overnight. The jerking now happens more frequently, so I’m going to take her to the vet.

They eat purina layer crumbles, but i accidentally got a bag of manapro all flock and have been mixing them. They also sometimes eat the grower feed (also purina). Plus lots of foraging in the yard, some scratch, watermelon on hot days, dried fruit as a treat and meal worms. They had crickets a...

Hello! I have a problem hen, it seems. She can never just stay normal for more than a couple weeks. Anyway, my 9 month old bantam Cochin (recent mother of three as of 7 weeks ago) has been behaving odd at night and during moments of rest during the day. I first noticed about 1 1/2 weeks ago...
