Common Crop Issues in Chickens

A good article with helpful info for people dealing with these problems. A few issues worth noting:
syringe feeding the sick bird olive oil
How much? How often?
Apple Cider Vinegar is a good antibacterial, adding it to the sick birds water will help, as well as keeping it in their water all year-long.
Again, how much? Does the amount needed change when treating sick birds?
Be sure to maintain digestive system health
How? Are their specific foods that could do this?

Linking some other articles/websites for further reading would be good. More relevant images, perhaps of the digestive system, what these crop issues look like etc.

Thanks for writing!
This article could be improved by fixing the broken picture, adding pictures of the digestive tract, and listing some of the common medications used to treat fungal & bacterial infections.

Thank you for the information , I wasn’t aware Chicken’s could have such issues .Good to know
Good article on sour crop. More pictures or diagrams would be helpful. Additionally, sour crop can be treated with miconazole, which is easy to find.
thanks for the article!
Nice read on crops. Some diagrams of the crop would be most helpful if added.
Nicely done! This is a must read for anyone who has never had a crop issue, so they're prepared. It's also a good idea for those who have experienced a crop dysfunction, as a quick refresher.
