[My Very First 6 Chickens]

I know. I wish I had gotten the person's contact information because I've had other chickens I would have sent there too. I have noticed a lot of people have crop problems with the Speckled Sussex. I don't know if it's common with them, or it was just me noticing it when I was taking care of Jewels.

Funny cause my speckled I've had 5 months appears to have a very low crop. Shes 2 yrs old this November. Never seen it like 'bulb-like' as happens with the other 6.

Do you know if she's emptying it or if it ever gets hard? Jewels' appeared like she had sour crop (without the white) and often was puking up her water. (She drank a LOT of water.) A crop bra helped a lot and some sour crop treatment helped some too. At some point, she got a very badly impacted crop because I had taken her crop bra off. I ended up doing a sour and impacted crop treatment combo for her, and that was the only thing that helped her crop, which was usually a temporary fix.

Aw, Fluffles fits him. Because you're new with roosters if you ever need help with them, there are plenty of people around that can help you. 33 ladies is more than enough for him, so I bet he's a pretty happy fellow there.

Have they been together all their lives? If they are separated, they'll fight. Are they free ranged?
