Pensky.. she sounds like she is on the mend! Yeah! I am happy for her and you. Good job!

Penske.. I learned what I know by doing it when I had to... read, read, read... that is your best hope.

if you separate her, she will need supplemental heat.. like a light or something. could you bring her in the house or basement in a dog crate or large cat carrier? She needs to not be able to get access to things that will plug up her crop. A squishy crop is a good sign, in my opinion. Feed...

Gee Penske...I don;t know about pendulous crop.... make sure to massage it to help move things along. I hope that your hen will be OK.

Congratulations Deanne!!! I am happy that Daisy is well now! Miss Prissy helps again!

tshowell... I have not been good at doing this, but some folks here DO use it regularly in the water. I keep telling myself that I am going to start doing it, but always forget! They say it also cuts down on algae growing in the water container. Used cannot use a metal waterer though if you...

I hope she does well Aussiechick. I put my chook back out with her sisters. She is so happy. I hope I did not act too early. She is snuggled up wit Rusty our rooster tonight and happy to be back with them.

Quote: FisherMOM is writing this down in her sour/impacted crop notes! thanks! oh boy.. Crystal is gonna LOVE ME! lol

I found this info for Aussie chick about ACV. Usage: Mix 1 teaspoon per quart of water. Watch birds reaction and make sure it is not too strong for them. As they need to drink water! Give as young as two weeks. A light spray over feed is also possible. DO NOT use in metal waterers the acid in...

I did read a bunch of threads, but there are SO MANY! I read that one months ago I think, but did not stumble across it this week. I have been very lucky! My girl's crop looks good. She has NOT had yogurt today, I think, to be on the safe side, I am going to try the ACV again. Thanks Miss...

oh, and I only had a little ACV in the water.. it wasnt overkill.

She won't drink it. She hasn't drank in 2 days, but her poop is watery. She must get the water from the yogurt. (Of course I do not offer her ACV and yogurt simultaneously. She does sometimes act like she has the hiccups or has to burp after she eats? She acts hungry all the time too. I...

Thanks Miss Prissy. my Crystal is still so so. Hubby is kicking her out of the house tonight. Chicken poop stinks. I think I am going to put her sister in with her in the dog crate in the garage so she is not alone. SHe needs to still rest some more I believe.

WOW Miss Prisy.. I am so lucky. I started my girl on the yogurt the next day. She would not drink the ACV water. I am printing your info OUT! Also, what about grit? When the crop seems to have emptied, then give grit? That is what I did.

This is a sour crop and needs immediate attention. First of all separate her if you can, so that she can rest. You may have to make her throw up..(yuck) Then your best bet is to buy yogurt with live cultures in it. I mixed yogurt with smushed up canned spinach. Just a little spinach and a...
