thank you I very much appreciate the advice. I'm at a loss with these crop issues. Our hen who had impacted crop last year died. I'm sure hers was from worms.
Hers wasn't as bad as this one's is either. And today at breakfast he was not doing very well. I am going out there now to try and massage him. I'm relieved we don't have
to vomit him just yet. If he has not improved by Monday, I will make arrangement to end his suffering. I read somewhere that ACV is useful in preventing crop issues. We use
it once in a while here, a couple of times a month. I'm thinking of increasing the use, and also increase our use of oregano oil, to hopefully act as preventatives.
No problem, I'm glad to help.
I've had a couple crop problems myself.
A couple months ago one of my hens had a minor impacted crop so I brought her to the vet and they helped her. Now she is perfectly fine. And right now I think one of my hens has slow crop which is about 90% good by now. When my chicken a couple months ago had a minor impacted crop the vet gave her a prescription that stops the swelling. And it worked!!! See if you can get your cockrol a anti swelling prescription that's for chickens. It may help him get some of that stuff out!
