    Sour crop? Impacted crop?

    I have recently noticed that my chicken may have an impacted/sour crop. I suspect it started a month ago. I was suspicious before but smelled her breath and she was fine she was also having a healthy appetite and has no signs of weight loss. Recently though her crop has grown in size and feels...

    Impacted crop?

    I didn't realize that the feeder was empty for a while and one of my chickens gorged herself on food when I refilled it maybe 3 hours ago. She looks almost like she's gagging while her crop moves up and down. Her crop itself is enlarged and hard, but she's acting fine besides that. I've given...

    Grass in hen's poop

    My hen Red has been pretty stressed out. One of my roosters must have been harassing her. She is blind in one eye so she is vulnerable to bullying and attack.

Based on what I found on the internet, I think it was an impacted crop, as it was very firm. I separated her and only gave her water for a day, ans made...

    Dog attack, crop impaction, and respiratory issues

    Here is my previous post about Val’s dog attack. The saga continues! She’s been doing well after having her egg removed. Some feathers are growing back but the worst wounds are still healing and scabbed up. I’ve let her outside a few times in short visits to be a chicken, she seems good. BUT...

    Help! Possibly a crop issue???!

    Hello! I am so new to treating chickens for things. But I tried to do the research here but can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. I have a GLW that is due to be laying anytime. I noticed when I counted the flock earlier in the day she was missing. Well I searched the large run we have and...

    Hi all thank you for your advice in advance. I've had these baby chicks for a week now. There is 5 in total. One is week and lathargic since yesterday. She could barely stand yesterday.
