crop emergency

I'm not sure if the photos clearly show it, but if you have a look at her crop, it isn't the same as my other chickens crop and I'm so worried. She's only started laying, today she laid her third egg all up, but laying an egg seems like a big challenge for my girl. She takes half a day trying...

Hello everyone. I have a 6-month turkey. She is a bbb and weighs about 20 lbs. I love her so much, but she tries to get into everything. I never let her free-range unless I am present, because she constantly tries to eat non-edible things and unfortunately our backyard has a lot of random pieces...

I noticed about two weeks ago that my 16 week old pullet had an enlarged crop. No worries, didn't think much of it. I only noticed because she started to make a gesture like she was gagging (I know chickens can't gag, but that was what it looked like). Went on a vacation and came back, and it...

Big Bertha is a nearly 2 year old red sex link. Two days ago we noticed she wasn't really eating. Her crop was big and squishy and she was kind of burping and moving her neck funny. We checked her crop yesterday morning and it wasn't any smaller. When I picked her up, she spit out some brown...

Hi friends, My Pencilled Hamburg hen Angelica is around 7 months old. She’s been laying for a few weeks but stopped a week ago. We had a mite infestation arise while away on a camping trip so I assumed it was the cause, as the rest of the flock stopped laying too. They’ve all been treated...

When I went out to feed my chickens this morning I noticed that one had a really dirty butt. I caught her and looked her over. Her crop is full and squishy. Sometimes her crop doesn't fully empty overnight and she still has a little food in it in the morning, but it's never been full. If we can...

PLEASE HELPThere is something wrong somewhere in my chicken. In the morning she still has a little ball of food in her crop, but if I wait until 9 or 10 in the morning she's digested most of it, and if I give her a spice mix with a syringe it will disintegrate. If I do nothing and feed her she...

This year has not been a good one for avoiding animal issues for us! I'm back again with another problem- this time, a hen with a crop issue. On Friday evening (July 23) we noticed a hen with a large crop. I picked her up and felt her and could tell there were pieces of corn in her, so I was...
