How to treat sour crop and impacted crop and how to know which one you're dealing with

Thank you for this invaluable, clear and easy to understand advice. I have been following it for 3 weeks. My hen had; sour crop, an impaction and a pendulous crop all at once. I practiced all your suggestions in order, and this morning ,finally, her crop is 100% empty! It has taken 3 weeks but it has worked. I will continue to monitor her, but because of this page I now understand what I am dealing with. Many thanks.

Thank you so much for this article! Next time you have to address an impacted crop, I would LOVE a video!

Thank you so much for this valuable article. I have found this so helpful for what we are dealing with right now

Excellent article. Very well explained and easy to understand.

Thank you so much for this article! I am on day 3 of the monistate and still my hens crop is not emptying. She is wanting to eat grit and sand. Could it be impacted gizzard? How do I help her if it is that? I am at my wits end.

Great article and information. Question is does this happen more in older chickens naturally or have you found it due more to non-free ranging chickens or maybe other reasons? Just wondering cause I have chickens my wife will make me keep forever because she has named them. LOL

I've lost a hen to this in the past and it is frustrating when you don't know what to do. I'm grateful for your time, expertise, and detailed instructions. Free egg breakfast whenever you're in town!!!

azygous helped me out a lot with our hen who suddenly developed symptoms of sour crop. Our rescue bird went downhill and I had no clue what it was. Treating for symptoms of sour crop, we were able to save our bird. Thank you for this article that every chicken keeper should bookmark,

Thank you! I’ve never had a hen with this problem before now. The young Sussex I’ll be treating is one of my sweetest, and I hope she can recover.

Thank you for such a clear post that is understandable. I'm going over to the shops as soon as they open and start treatment this morning.

Very helpful, thanks.
