crop bra

Hello all, Our girl Lydia is working toward getting over an impaction and bacterial infection. Her crop is quite pendulous, which may get better with a bra or not. At the moment, we're having to massage and help empty it every hour or so. And while I've made a few bra prototypes - I'm...

Hi BYC. I don't use forums often so I apologize in advance if I'm doing anything wrong. SBC ("scared black chicken" - name courtesy of my cousin) is a black sex link hen, ~6yrs old, weight unknown but she currently feels lighter than she usually is. She has had a pendulous crop since we got her...

😢Hi all! Worried about my Australorp hen, Henrietta. She has always had a more difficult time when eating things than the other two girls, but it has recently gotten much worse. Her crop was very saggy and full looking and then about 2 weeks ago, I noticed liquid coming out of her mouth when she...

My 8 month old Silkie hen has a quite large crop (pictures attached). She eats, drinks, poops, and participates as normal in the coop with my other four Silkies (though note she hasn't laid an egg in about a month - not sure if that should be a concern?). She has been to an avian vet who...

This is the first crop issue I've come across in my young flock, this is my first flock that I've raised and I didn't know what I was facing at the moment.

On Feb 26 my 5 month old Silkie Pullet was discovered to have a large tennis ball sized, watery, gritty crop. I took her to a vet who said her digestive system had shut down and she had no hope. Luckily a member of my chicken FB groups had treated chickens with similar symptoms (coincidentally...

Being a novice chicken owner my husband misdiagnosed our Cochin as getting fat when in actuality it turned out she had sour crop. She was acting normal but had a flabby chest area and unfortunately she stayed like this for possible two months or more. I did not find anything on the site for...

Hey guys! I have an older hen who is a red comet. She’s about 5 or 6 years old... I’m not too sure. But she was recently molting, poor thing, and of course during the cold. I’m aware that she has frostbite on her comb, and she has an impacted crop. Another hen has feet lice and was wondering if...

My hen has a pendulous crop and after several attempts trying various things I have decided to try a crop bra. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make one and also if she must wear it 24/7? I have a big ace bandage I was going to try to use..
